Tabita Berglund

Born in a village in County Trøndelag,[1] Berglund studied cello as a youth, at the Trondheim Kommunale Musikk- og Kulturskole.

In 2017, Berglund then began studies on a second master's degree from NMH, with a focus on conducting and with Ruud as her principal mentor.

During this period, she participated in conducting master classes with Bernard Haitink, Jorma Panula, and Jaap van Zweden.

In 2018, Talent Norges ('Talent Norway') selected Berglund for its Opptakt training programme for young conductors,[3] for the period from 2018 to 2020.

Berglund's Opptakt period led to guest-conducting engagements with such ensembles as the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, the Oslo Philharmonic, and Norwegian National Opera and Ballet.
