Events & Concerts
Collaborative and Outreach 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.
Have us present or perform for your group, class, or in your home!
