Welcome to this year’s concert in the Mine, this year in Mine no. 3>>> moved to Mine no 7, where we can offer great music, powerful stories and wine bar!

This powerful and moving concert explores the untold stories of artists who have faced challenges in their pursuit of artistic expression. Set in the evocative and dramatic context of Svalbard’s mining history, this performance delves into the lives of these pioneers, who through their art, have fought for their voices to be heard.

These stories will be presented in short talks, inspired by the world-renowned “TED-talks”. As a little extra, in collaboration with Svalbard Adventures, we are inviting wine-sommelier Anne Lise Gundersen – she will be presenting exciting stories of several wines for you to hear and to taste.
