The Norwegian Radio Orchestra has a remarkably diverse repertoire, and is doubtless the orchestra heard most often within Norway, across all medias, and at its many and diverse venues around the country. It is a flexible ensemble, playing everything from symphonic and contemporary classical music to pop, rock, folk and jazz, and collaborates with outstanding musicians in all genres. For several years, the orchestra has performed together with internationally acclaimed artists at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, which has aired to millions of viewers worldwide.
The orchestra comprises highly talented classical instrumentalists, yet its musical philosophy has remained the same: versatility, a light-hearted approach, a curiosity for all kinds of music, and an unwillingness to pigeonhole musical styles.
Miguel Harth-Bedoya served as the orchestra’s chief conductor from 2013 to 2020, bringing new and exciting South American and international repertoire to Norwegian concert halls.
