Theme of the year

The whole world is dealing with a pandemic. Therefore the theme of the year will be solidarity. It is what we have to expect from ourselves, and it’s what we want to use the festival to talk about. How both the field of culture and society at large deals with this in a way that takes care of the ones most at risk.

Oslo is a small, but global city of music, and more than ever, we are grateful for this fact.
