Ragnhild Hemsing stands out in Norwegian musical life as a versatile artist. Deeply rooted in Norway's folk music tradition, she is one of the first performers to successfully merge distinctive elements of Norwegian folk music with classical music in a youthful, fresh, and thoroughly modern way.
In the autumn of 2024, she appeared on the main stage of the National Theatre in Oslo during a production of Peer Gynt, where she participated in a staged performance, playing Grieg's music in an arrangement for the Hardanger fiddle.
Ragnhild has a wide repertoire within the classical genre, complemented by extraordinarily complex works written for the Hardanger fiddle. In contemporary music, her collaborations include working with Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen.
She has been a guest artist at all major festivals in Norway and played with all the professional symphony orchestras at their concert venues in Norway and has an extensive record of international performances. Highlights include appearances at the Cheltenham, Verbier, Bellerive, and AlpenKlassik festivals, as well as recitals at Wigmore Hall, the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the Mariinsky Concert Hall, and Beethovenfest Bonn.
