Bergen International Festival, the largest curated festival for music and performing arts in the Nordic region, launches tomorrow 26 May. This year provides audiences worldwide with digital access to 30 events with highlights including, among many others, 2021 Festival Composer Missy Mazzoli and young violinist Johan Dalene, winner of the 2019 Norwegian Soloist Prize. Mazzoli, a Grammy-nominated composer, made history in 2018 when she became one of the two first women – along with composer Jeanine Tesori – to be commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera. Her works are performed all over the world, including by the Kronos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, pianist Emanuel Ax, LA Opera, New York City Opera, Los Angeles Philharmonic, American Composers Orchestra, and many others.
