Location
The Grieg Hall (Norwegian: Grieghallen), a 1,500-seat concert hall in Bergen, Norway, was the host venue for the 2000 edition of the Eurovision Young Musicians.[1] It has been the home of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra since the hall's completion in 1978.[citation needed]
It hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 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.[citation needed]
