The Grieg Hall (Norwegian: Grieghallen) is a 1,500 seat concert hall in Bergen, Norway. It has been the home of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra since the hall's completion in 1978. It hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 1986, and is the host of the annual Norwegian Brass Band Championship competition, which occurs in mid-winter. The hall is named after Bergen-born composer Edvard Grieg, who was music director of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra from 1880 until 1882. www.grieghallen.no
Troldhaugen consists of the Edvard Grieg Museum, Grieg's villa, the hut where he composed music, and his gravesite. It also includes Troldsalen, a concert hall with seating for 200 visitors, which is the centre for Troldhougen's extensive concert activity. Troldhaugen's goal is to provide visitors with opportunities to learn about Edvard Grieg and to engage with his music. www.kunstmuseene.no/default.asp?enhet=troldhaugen&sp=2
