2026 Festivals
The Music of Ola Gjeilo
📅 June 3–8, 2026
📍 Oslo, Norway
Firebird Fine Arts Tours, Ola Gjeilo & Dr. Irene Messoloras proudly presents a new choral experience set in the heart of Scandinavia. The Music of Ola Gjeilo is a destination festival for non-professional choirs, bringing together singers from across the world to perform the stunning, cinematic works of one of today’s most beloved living composers — with the composer himself in attendance.
Hosted in Norway’s capital city and culminating in a gala performance at the Oslo Concert Hall, this festival is a rare opportunity to sing Gjeilo’s music with live orchestra and experience the soul of Norway that inspires his soundscapes — from its fjords and forests to its museums and modern architecture.
