The Risør Festival of Chamber Music was established in 1991 and is today one of the Norway’s most popular summer music events.

For one week each summer, the sleepy seaside Norwegian village, becomes the stage for an international festival of chamber Music. Some of the biggest names in classical music make their way to Norway for the event. At the helm of the event are three directors – the musicians violist Lars Anders Tomter and the internationally acclaimed pianist Leif Ove Andsnes who are the artistic directors – and Turid Birkeland, the overall director of the festival.
Prior to this position Turid Birkeland was for a short time Norway’s Minister of Culture. In this week’s Inspired Minds she talks to Breandáin O’Shea about the Risør Festival of Chamber Music, Norway’s flourishing arts scene and her ideas about what makes a festival successful .
