CREATIVE SUMMER SCHOOL

(The Summer School is now fully booked)

Are you interested in music or visual art? Join Bergen International Festival and BIT20’s summer school!

In five days we will experiment and challenge our own creativity. How can different sounds come together and form a musical expression? How can we create visual art expressions as pictures and sculptures with different materials and objects?

This school is for you who sing, play an instrument, are interested in music technology or want to make visual art! Go to the registration form to rank which group you prefer to be a part of.
