BIT 20 ensemble was founded in Bergen in 1989 for the purpose of advancing performances of Norwegian and international art music of the 20th century. The company is involved in concerts, education programmes, radio productions, CD recordings, contemporary music theatre and extensive touring. Its repertoire ranges from works written for soloists to those for a full-blown sinfonietta. By and large its members are group leaders in Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1993 BIT 20 was hailed as the ’Performer of the Year’ by the Norwegian Society of Composers for its promotion of Norwegian contemporary music.
