Festspillene i Tønsberg

The opening concert will feature Marinemusikken (the Royal Norwegian Navy Band), one of Norway’s finest concert band, performing together with outstanding soloists and one of Norway’s most accomplished conductors.

The Festspillene i Tønsberg is a new major initiative in classical music. The Festival was held for the very first time in the fall of 2025 in Tønsberg Cathedral with musical experiences of international class!

The Festival combines local cultural life with a clear focus on international ties and a high artistic level. The audience can look forward to concerts with some of Norway's leading musicians, as well as artists from Ireland, Poland, Austria and Azerbaijan.

The goal is to create a festival that both reflects the rich cultural life in the region and at the same time opens the doors to impulses from outside.
