Currently enrolled on the Orchestral Conducting Masters course at the Norwegian Academy of Music under Ole Kristian Ruud, Tabita Berglund originally trained as a cellist and studied to Masters degree level under Truls Mørk. A chamber and orchestral musician who regularly plays with the Oslo and Bergen Philharmonic orchestras as well as the Trondheim Soloists, conducting has been Tabita’s main focus since 2015. 

In August 2018 Tabita was named as one of the winners of the Neeme Järvi Prize at the Gstaad Conducting Academy. Following auditions with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra in May, she was the only candidate selected for Opptakt, a launch programme aimed at fostering Norwegian conducting talent and which collaborates with leading national orchestras as well as the Gothenburg Symphony, enabling exceptional performance opportunities for its young artists. 

Tabita has previously participated in masterclasses with Bernard Haitink, Jorma Panula and Jaap van Zweden, as well as a BBC Philharmonic masterclass workshop in September 2018.
