On 23 August 2026, Giedrė Šlekytė conducts the Oslo Philharmonic in the orchestra's traditional free open-air concert at the Palace Square in Oslo.
Joined by soprano Kathleen O'Mara and violinist Eldbjørg Hemsing, she leads a programme spanning Dvořák and Brahms to Anna Clyne, broadcast live nationwide by Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
A free concert in front of the Royal Palace, reaching a broadcast audience far beyond the square itself, is more than an evening of music — it is visibility placed with intent.
