Mission Statement

The Bergen Medieval Music Days (BMMD) aims to present the foremost artistic and academic research on medieval music – to a general audience no less than to specialists. BMMD will also highlight the medieval city of Bergen while showcasing Bergen as a Scandinavian centre of artistic and academic research on, and high-class performance of, Medieval music. The program therefore consists of concerts, lectures, exhibitions and walks through Bergen´s medieval sites. Drawing on contributions by a range of excellent local and international performers and academics, BMMD will establish a meeting point for research in and performance ofall lovers of medieval music.

The BMMD takes place in September each year, and is a collaboration under the auspices of the ensemble Currentes, the University of Bergen (throughand its Centre for Medieval Studies and the the Grieg Academy), and the Bergen city Museum.
