24/25 Season

Alpesh Chauhan is the conductor at the Oslo Philharmonic’s folk festival at The Palace Square. The orchestra has a tradition of concerts outdoors, almost as long as the orchestra itself. They have performed at Holmenkollen, The City Hall Square, and Myraløkka more recently, before the first Palace Square concert in 2017. This is our sixth concert in front of the Royal Palace; you do not need a ticket. Welcome!
