Although the Norwegian National Championships will not be taking place this year, the recent lifting of Covid-19 measures has given the opportunity for three leading Hordaland based bands to give a joint concert at Bergen's Grieg Hall on Saturday 12th February.

Programmes

Eikanger Bjorsvik, Manger Musikklag and Krohnengen Bands will perform concert programmes under the direction of conductors Reid Gilje, Martin Winter and Nicholas Childs respectively starting at 4.00pm.
