Beirut Musicians Support Program

A newly established fund, aimed at creating activity on the Beirut music scene.

Get to know the artists!

For the very first time Oslo World had to present a concert program that was based exclusively on artists within the country's borders. This was an opportunity to dig into what Norway has to offer, and present brilliant music experiences characterized by the same genre range and the same curiosity as in a regular year. In collaboration with Music Norway, we have selected five musicians from this year's festival, which we present through video presentations, produced by Brusjan film.

Utopian Manifesto 2.0

Children's Art Exploration Day

Children’s Art Exploration Days were organized by Concerts Norway for the first time in 1998, as part of Oslo World. Since then it has been an annual and indispensable part of the festival – all the people who visit Grønland Culture Station help to make our universe much larger, and our connection to the city much closer than it had been otherwise. In 2018, Oslo World took over the responsibility of organizing the Children’s festival in Oslo, as well as the coordination of the network of events around the country.

Beirut & Beyond International Music Festival

A blast wave of creativity arose in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. Beirut & Beyond International Music Festival was founded in 2013, in partnership with our music festival.

Map the World

We have asked festival bookers all around the world to share their favourite music.
