A Norwegian composer and multi-instrumentalist, Bergersen is among the world's most streamed classical crossover artists. His music has been featured in trailers and promotional campaigns, including those for major franchises such as Harry Potter, Avatar, The Avengers, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Trek, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

His best-known compositions, including Victory, Star Sky, and Heart of Courage, have accumulated billions of views and streams worldwide.

The Shanghai concert will feature both Bergersen's solo works and signature pieces from Two Steps From Hell. Combining an orchestra, a choir, and electronic soundscapes with lighting and visual effects, the performance will take audiences on an emotional journey from quiet reflection to explosive energy, and from solitude to hope.
