Music at the heart of the city
During Ultima 2025, a temporary music pavilion will be installed at Tigerplassen, next to Oslo Central Station. The Ultima Pavilion will serve as a gathering point for listening experiences, encounters, and musical surprises. Here, you can get up close to composers, musicians, and artists at work. You might hear something you have never heard before – or even become part of it yourself.
The pavilion will be open every day for ten days, presenting short concerts, installations, talks, and activities for both children and adults – programmed and performed by emerging musicians. You can drop by on your way to the train, during your lunch break, or seek it out as part of the festival programme.
The music you encounter will be both composed and improvised, but never detached. It emerges in dialogue with the city’s life, sounds, and rhythms, with you as a listener.
This is a place for experimentation, reflection, curiosity, and a sense of welcome regardless of your experience. A place that accommodates intimacy and distance, silence and noise. And a place with memory: each day leaves its trace, and the sounds that accumulate in the pavilion return in a new form on the final day.
A small coffee corner invites you to sit down, take a break, and make new friends.
More details will be published throughout August and September. Stay tuned!
