May 17th Concert with LiveStrings
17 May Concert with LiveStrings
Saturday 17 May will be a celebration of all things Norwegian and musical, as Tivoli Gardens once again hosts the annual 17 May concert at the Orangery, led by cellist Live Johansson. She has curated a rich and varied programme and invited some of the finest musicians to help bring a festive Norwegian spirit to the Gardens.
Norwegian star and mezzo-soprano Tuva Semmingsen – renowned for her genre-defying versatility – joins the celebration alongside the Nordic string quartet LiveStrings, pianist Nicolai Kornerup, and guitarist Mads Reinhold Hansen. Together, they will present a delightful blend of classical works, traditional Norwegian tunes, and contemporary pop – everything you need for a true 17 May celebration.
Everyone is warmly invited to join the festivities – we promise an uplifting experience and an authentic taste of Norway’s Constitution Day.
You can also catch LiveStrings later in the evening when they join Norwegian drummer, singer, and rapper Øyunn for a special concert: Øyunn X LiveStrings
