A champion of Norway’s rich musical tradition, Eldbjørg Hemsing made a name for herself in her native country beginning with her solo debut with Bergen Philharmonic at the age of 11. Today she counts amongst the leading violinists of the younger generation.

In the 2020/21 season Eldbjørg performs with orchestras such as Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra and Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Highlights of past seasons include performances with Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra in the opening concert of the Bergen International Music Festival 2020 and with Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Zürcher Kammerorchester, NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover and Shanghai and Hong Kong Philharmonic orchestras. Offering a broad repertoire, Eldbjørg has a close connection to Tan Dun, having premiered and recorded his violin concerto Fire Ritual. A passionate chamber musician, recitals take Eldbjørg to Mozartwoche Salzburg, Dialoge Festival Salzburg, Musikwoche Bad Berleburg, and to her own Hemsing Festival amongst others.

In addition to her engagements as a soloist Eldbjørg is actively involved in many societal projects. As Artistic Director and mentor in the SPIRE programme she follows her passion in supporting young talents with their artistic and personal self-development in the classical music world.
