European Music Trails in Historical Locations

In the period 15.-22. September 2019, 8 young classical musicians from Germany, Lithuania and Norway met at the Meisdalen Gård in Skrautvål, Valdres. Here they worked and lived together for a week, before embarking on a concert tour around the country. The great inspiration was the music and travels of Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), Clara Schumann (1819 - 1896) and Mikalojus Konstantinas ÄŒiurlionis (1875 - 1911) which inspired the festival and mini tour - from Valdres in the east to Bergen in the west.

In Bergen, the Historical Music Trails began with a morning concert at Troldhaugen (Edvard Griegs home), followed by concerts in historic rooms in Bergen and east Norway.

 

European Music Trails (EUMUT) was a project about the unifying power of music in a diverse Europe. The three partners, Leipziger Notenspur (Germany), Opera Opus - MB Classics (Norway) and Ciurlionio Namai (Lithuania), developed the project based on the philosophy and basic ideas of the great composers who all represented a change in the music field in the 18th and 19th century.

All three are particularly important composers in the three participating countries, Germany, Lithuania and Norway. The European Music Trails project took the legacy from these composers and further developed it for the future.
