Trio Leikínn
Trio
A new, exciting, and talented trio consisting of Amalie Thing Helseth, Olga Larsson, and Sebastian Egebakken Svenøy.
About the Artist
Here in Risør we cheer for young talents, and our history includes several examples of “they were here with us first.” We insist on quality, always. The composers deserve it, and so do you, our audience. That’s why we only invite those we believe can help lift the festival musically.
That’s why it’s especially fun to invite Amalie Thing Helseth (cello), Olga Larsson (violin), and Sebastian Egebakken Svenøy (piano). As the name suggests, this is a playful bunch, and we look forward to being able to say in a few years: Were you there when they played in Risør in 2026?

For the first time, we’re creating a pre-festival celebration at Frydenborg for residents, users, and families alike. We’re proud of this, because we want to reach all of Risør.
Free City Concert
Head down to the town square and hang out with hundreds of other music lovers. This is the start of another lovely summer day in Risør.
At Home with Brita & Jan Egil
People of Risør open their homes so you can experience chamber music as chamber music was meant to be. Intimate and unfiltered, here you get very close to the artists and the music.
Joseph Haydn: A Portrait Concert
This year's festival takes a closer look at this giant of Western music. So much of what we call classical music today was defined by Haydn.
Tour de Risør
Three concerts at three different venues. Meet at the town square, and we'll stroll together through Norway's most beautiful summer town, enjoying a musical smorgasbord.
I would choose: ...
Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson chose April, but what will this year's artists choose when asked to select their favorite composers and works?
Seasons at Torvet
One of classical music’s absolute superhits brings the concert to a close, and the build-up to the climax is filled with the loveliest seasons, from the cold north to the hot south.
