Fredrikstad & Sarpsborg | 24–25 January 2026

The Youth Orchestra Seminar is an important part of the NordSync model, which connects professional artistic production with education, voluntary cultural life, and future talent development.

During NordSync Forum – Østfold, a free orchestra seminar for children and youth takes place in Sarpsborg and Fredrikstad. Young musicians work side by side with professional artists from Norway, Sweden, and Finland through orchestral playing, ensemble work, and individual masterclasses.

The seminar combines classical repertoire and popular music in arrangements adapted to beginner and intermediate levels, and places strong emphasis on collaboration, inclusion, and a supportive social framework. It concludes with a public concert where young participants perform together with professional musicians.

By integrating education directly into professional productions, the seminar demonstrates how the NordSync model strengthens learning, artistic quality, and long-term cultural development.
