<P><B>OSLO � The Committee of Delegates of the WCF has chosen Oslo as the location for the 14th World Carillon Congress 27 June - 1 July 2004. Her Majesty Queen Sonja will be the patron for the congress which is being held in Norway for the first time. The Congress Committee includes the <I>Nordisk Selskab for Campanologi og Klokkespil</I> and <I>Sonus - Amici Campanarum Osloensis</I>, a recently founded society for people interested in bells and carillons.</B></P>
<P><FONT color="#FF0000"><B>OSLO</B></FONT><BR>Oslo - the Capital of Norway - is situated in the heart of Scandinavia, surrounded by magnificent <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_7.htm')"><U>scenery</U></A> from the fjord to the forested hills. Already at the turn of the 10th century, a settlement was built at the head of the <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_6.htm')"><U>Oslo fjord</U></A>. During the 11th century, this settlement grew into the medieval city of Oslo, making Oslo one of the oldest cities in Scandinavia, and the only Scandinavian capital with an urban settlement dating back to the Viking Ages.</P>
<P>Today, Oslo is a modern city well-equipped for conferences. The centre of Oslo is small and compact, offering most hotels, meeting facilities, <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_15.htm')"><U>shopping areas</U></A>, restaurants, <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_17.htm')"><U>outdoor caf�'s</U></A>, and entertainment within walking distance. The clean environment, with fresh air and clean water, is an important asset. People in Oslo are friendly, and they enjoy receiving visitors. Communication is easy as most Norwegians speak English.</P>
<P>Oslo is proud to invite the congress participants to <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_10.htm')"><U>Oslo City Hall</U></A>. The unique architecture, <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_13.htm')"><U>frescoes</U></A> and sculptures, along with the <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_4.htm')"><U>carillon</U></A>, will create the best possible surroundings for the congress. The lectures will be held <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_14.htm')"><U>here</U></A>. An exhibition on the carillons of Oslo will also be presented at the <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_11.htm')"><U>City Hall</U></A>, a mere two minutes walk from the <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_16.htm')"><U>congress hotel</U></A>.</P>
<P>The Oslo Cathedral has inaugurated a new carillon on December 14, 2003 and in the summer of 2004 a new carillon in Uranienborg church will be completed. Along with the Travelling Carillon, four instruments will sing in Oslo during the congress.</P>
<P>The WCF congress is a joint project between the Nordic countries and Oslo is looking forward to present the city, the Nordic carillon culture, Nordic bell founding, and the Nordic music for the international carillon society. From Finland, the hand bell choir SONUS will take part in the congress. Theme of the congress is <I>The voice of the city</I>.</P>

The <A href="javascript:hor('../../foto/eng/oslo_2_2.htm')"><U>international airport</U></A> in Oslo, Oslo Airport Gardermoen, is located approximately 50 km north of the city. Sandefjord Airport Torp is located 110 km south-west of Oslo. The low-fare airline Ryanair has made this airport a new and important gateway to Oslo. Through the Oslo fjord, there is all-year access to the ocean, which makes Oslo an important harbour for regular ferry-boats. Modern and comfortable trains and busses connect Oslo to Sweden, Denmark and the rest of the continent. It is recommended not to bring cars as parking in Oslo can be expensive.</P>
