Anna Linh Nguyen Berg (1992) is a Norwegian Vietnamese composer from Kolbotn, Norway, based in Paris and Oslo. Berg has a Bachelor’s degree in composition from The Norwegian Academy of Music (2017-2021), and a Master’s degree in composition from The Norwegian Academy of Music and Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris (2021-2023).
In her catalogue, you can find works for a wide range of ensembles such as symphony orchestra, string orchestra, sinfonietta and choir, in addition to works for smaller constellations such as string quartet, duos and solos. She also creates music for film and dance.
Berg’s works are performed regularly at concerts and festivals in Norway, the Nordic countries and Europe, among them at Ultima, Festspillene i Bergen, Arctic Chamber Music Festival, International Rostrum of Composers, Norland Musikkfestuke and Ung Nordisk Musikk.

Berg’s music has timbre and elegance as central themes. She wants each of her pieces to create their own language and is concerned with how structure, form and layers in music impact the listener’s perception of the whole.
