Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRI : Grieg Hall

The Grieg Hall (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.

It has also been used to record many seminal black metal albums from some of Norways most infamous bands including Mayhem, Emperor, Burzum & Immortal. Most of these were produced by Eirik Hundvin aka Pytten.
