The Risør Festival of Chamber Music has firmly established itself as one of the most prestigious and recognized chamber music festivals in the world. Each year, international artists visit the small fishing town in southern Norway and join forces with some of Norway's best musicians for six days of chamber music making. The setting is amongst the most beautiful to be found in Norway, the exquisite coastline architecture and quintessential southern white houses providing an atmosphere of intimacy and calmness.

The founding artistic directors were violist Lars Anders Tomter and pianist Leif Ove Andsnes. In 2011 Andsnes handed over the co-artistic leadership to violinist Henning Kraggerud. The festival takes place in the last week of June each year. The films shown here are produced by Music in Motion (www.musicinmotion.no).
