Mainstage Concerts
- Chamber music concerts featuring music by Edvard Grieg, other Norwegian composers, and living, local composers inspired by Grieg, bringing the music to audiences outside of Seattle.
- Concerts performed in collaboration with other music organizations, allowing us to present larger-scale works with orchestra, chorus, and opera companies, that we would not be able to present on our own.
Nordic Chamber Music
- Inspired by Edvard Grieg’s Euterpe Society from his time in Copenhagen, Nordic Chamber Music aspires to share under-performed chamber music from the Nordic region.
- Each season features six concerts — one for each of the Nordic countries and a neighbor — allowing each country’s music to shine on its own accord.
- Performed in Seattle on Sunday afternoons throughout from September through May.
Education & Outreach
- Inspiring musicians of all ages to explore the music of Edvard Grieg and his Nordic counterparts, we collaborate with local music organization to provide resources to teachers and students.
- We offer concerts, workshops, masterclasses, presentations, coachings, and practical resources and access to scores to teachers and students.
- We aim to bring Nordic music to audiences outside the big city through high-quality performances in their own spaces.
