This is what happens during the anniversary days on 3 and 4 September

Students and staff have much to look forward to on Sunday, 3 September, and Monday, 4 September. Here is an overview of how to participate, contribute, and celebrate as the Norwegian Academy of Music turns 50.

Parade

We open the anniversary celebration with a bang. Meet in front of Østbanehallen, by Tigeren, Sunday, 3 September at 10:45 and join the parade up Karl Johan via a performance on Egertorget and endpoint Universitetsplassen.

The Christiania Wind Ensemble leads us to the front of the Aula, surrounded by music for the rest of the day.

Attention: Do not plan exercises during this time - NMH needs you in the parade to show Oslo that we celebrate this day!

Group photo

Historically, historical group photos of staff and students have been taken several times. The 50th anniversary provides a golden opportunity to take a new historical photo.

We gather for a group photo on Monday 4 September, at 13:00 p.m. outside NMH.

Reception at Oslo City Hall

Not every day, a significant national institution celebrates its 50th anniversary, and we should be very proud that the Mayor of Oslo invites all students and staff to a reception at Oslo City Hall on Monday, 4 September, at 3:00 p.m.

This event is for all current NMH students and employees.

Pomp and well-deserved grandeur at Oslo City Hall, funded by the City of Oslo. Sign up and join the cheers, and enjoy some food and drinks.
