Eldbjørg Hemsing

Eldbjørg Hemsing is a Norwegian violinist admired for her charismatic and sophisticated interpretations of Norwegian and contemporary repertoire. Additionally, she is co-founder of the annual Hemsing Music Festival, artistic director of the SPIRE art competition, and senior artistic advisor of the Advisory Board for the Arts research firm. She was born in 1990, in Valdres, Norway, and she began learning the violin and hardanger fiddle from her mother, Bente Hemsing, when she was around five years old. Hemsing learned at a rapid pace, and after one year, she made her debut at the National Theater with the royal family present in the audience. When she was seven, she became a student at the Barratt Due Institute of Music, where she studied with Alf Richard Kraggerud and Stephan Barratt-Due. She sought further refinement and began studies with Boris Kuschnir in 2008, and she placed third in the Eurovision Young Musicians Competition of that year. She also started collaborations with composer Tan Dun and premiered his violin concertos The Love and Fire Ritual in 2010. She appeared on the album Varde with her older sister Ragnhild Hemsing in the following year, and she performed at the 2012 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. By this time, Hemsing was very well known in Norway through her frequent performances on Norwegian radio and TV. Her debut album, Borgström: Violin Concerto Op. 25; Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No. 1 with Olari Elts and the Wiener Symphoniker, was released in 2018, and it was very well received by critics. Months later, she also released Dvorák: Violin Concerto; Suk: Fantasy & Love Songs, followed by Tan Dun: Fire Ritual - Violin Concertos in 2019, which earned her a Spellemann award nomination. She’s in high demand as a soloist, and in 2020, she performed with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the Vancouver Symphony, the Zürcher Kammerorchester, and several other major ensembles. Hemsing signed a recording contract with the Sony Classical label in 2021 and released the single Winter Meditation with the Hestia Quartet. She won an Opus Klassik Award for her 2023 album Arctic, and in 2024, she released Rolf Wallin: Five Seasons; Whirld; Stride; Spirit with Wu Wei and Andris Poga.
