Chamber Music Festival

Kon-Tiki Chamber Music Festival 2026 – welcome to musical encounters by the fjord!

We are delighted to welcome you to the Kon-Tiki Chamber Music Festival, June 10–13, at the Norwegian Maritime Museum on Bygdøy. Set in unique surroundings by the Oslofjord, we invite you to three atmospheric evening concerts, a very special guest concert, as well as our popular family and children’s concert.

This year’s festival brings together an outstanding lineup of international and Norwegian top musicians, including violinist David Coucheron, pianist Julie Coucheron, flutist Christina Smith, cellist Amalie Stalheim, and violist Nicholas Algot Swensen. We are also very pleased to welcome Alexander Rybak to the festival for the first time. He will present his own concert together with mezzo-soprano Ebba Lejonclou, pianist Stefan Ibsen Zlatanos, violinist David Coucheron, and pianist Julie Coucheron on June 11th at 6:00 PM.

The program ranges from classical masterpieces by Mozart, Beethoven, and Dvořák to more atmospheric and virtuosic gems from the chamber music repertoire. Audiences can expect intimate, intense concert experiences with world-class musicians—just as the Kon-Tiki Festival is known for.

We look forward to sharing these magical summer evenings with you!

 

Best wishes,

Julie Coucheron and David Coucheron
