One of the world’s oldest ensembles, the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra traces its history far back into the 18th century and is recipient of the prestigious Gramophone’s Orchestra of the Year Award (2020). The illustrious figures that have led the orchestra throughout its rich history include Grieg, Lutosławski, Penderecki..., and currently Edward Gardner. Winner of the 2008 Royal Philharmonic Society Award for Best Conductor and the Laurence Olivier Award for outstanding achievements in opera, Gardner will assume the position of principal conductor of the London Philharmonic Orchestra in September 2021.

The orchestra’s reputation for stylistic diversity is reflected in the evening’s programme: Strauss’s late Romanticism is combined with the mellifluous Russian symphony and Ligeti's expanded sound flow.
