Norway has so much to offer!

Truly the land of the Midnight Sun and aurora borealis, Norway’s awesome forests, fjords and festivals will enchant you as much as the warm welcome guests receive. Viking and medieval sagas also describe musical activity, as do the accounts of priests and pilgrims from all over Europe coming to visit St Olaf’s grave in Trondheim. In the latter part of the 19th century, opera performances and symphony concerts were of high standards. Experience the past with modern tech as well by seeing Vikings with VR-tech, holograms and interactive screens. Today, Norway invites groups that are ready to bring their performance to the next level.


For Your Students

Beyond the concert stage, Norway offers rich, curriculum-aligned learning for student musicians. Groups can join master classes with Norwegian clinicians, take part in joint performances with local ensembles and explore the country’s deep musical traditions, from Grieg’s legacy in Bergen to the jazz culture of the north. From stave churches to fjord landscapes, Norway performance travel connects musical growth with deep cultural understanding.
