Music

The Arts Council funds projects ranging from concerts, tours and artistic productions to compositions, recordings, festivals, church music and performance venues.

The Council’s efforts are designed to support new creative and performing measures from Norway's music community, from classical to electronic and popular music. Relevant projects involve encouraging new compositions, promoting cultural diversity, facilitating the interpretation and preservation of musical heritage, and disseminating music to the public at large, and to help ensure superior architectural quality. Current challenges in this field include adapting to the changing definitions of cultural venues and arenas.
