The Barratt Due Institute of Music was founded in 1927 by the pianist Mary Barratt Due and the violinist Henrik Due. It has now played a central role in music education in Norway for more than 80 years. Drawing on a more continental frame of reference than usually found in Norway, children, young people and adult students are taught under the same roof, inspired by the founders' motto: From Music Kindergarten to the Concert Podium.
