Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra

The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra has vaulted into the top rank of international symphonic ensembles with a strong commitment to contemporary music, a sequence of conductors from outside Norway, and a growing catalog of recordings. Yet this growth developed organically from the orchestra's longstanding roots, which date back to the 18th century. The orchestra's conductors have included Edvard Grieg. In 2025, the Bergen Philharmonic released a recording of Brahms' A German Requiem, Op. 45.
