Norwegian Academy of Music

The Norwegian Academy of Music is a modern conservatory in Oslo housed in two buildings with three concert halls, recording studios, and Norway's largest academic music library. The facilities provide comprehensive spaces for teaching, rehearsal, and public performances.

The institution traces its roots to an 1883 school for organists founded by the Lindeman brothers, Ludvig and Peter Brynie. It evolved into the national music academy in 1973.

The academy keeps Norwegian musical traditions alive, from folk and church music to classical and contemporary styles, through its teaching and regular performances. These traditions shape how the institution sounds and feels to anyone attending a concert here.

Public access is mainly through concerts held regularly throughout the year. The buildings are open for visitors on weekdays and weekends, though hours are more limited on Saturdays and Sundays.

The Lindeman Hall, seating 400 people, is named after the founding family and serves as the main performance venue within the academy. This direct connection to the institution's origins gives the space particular significance.
