Choir marathon with the town's children's choir and Norway's Youth Choir.

The city center is filled with song and young voices when the Bergen Children's Choir Festival kicks off at Pentecost. This year's children's choir festival has been given the theme "songs from nature" and will be celebrated over two days. It all starts with an opening concert in Grieghallen's famous foyer on Sunday evening. Here, the Edvard Grieg Youth Choir, the Edvard Grieg Vocal Ensemble and the Norwegian Youth Choir are on stage.

On the 2nd day of Pentecost, the children's choirs take over the Festival's outdoor stage at Torgallmenningen, which has been renamed Festallmenningen for the occasion. Throughout the day, a number of the city's children's choirs associated with Ung i Kor - Vest will hold mini-concerts of around ten minutes each.
