Above the Arctic circle you find Arctic Philharmonic, the world's northernmost professional orchestra. Throughout the year, you can hear the orchestra play more than 200 concerts in Bodø and in Tromsø, as well as in other cities in Norway and abroad. Arctic Philharmonic is built on a unique model. It has a chamber orchestra in Tromsø and a sinfonietta in Bodø, and when the musicians join forces, you can experience the full symphony orchestra, as well as opera performances. Members of the orchestra play classical music in small chamber groups, as well as in the full symphony orchestra and vocal productions. You can also hear them play with different artists in many other genres. The orchestra aims to present contemporary Norwegian music with particular focus on the High North, while at the same time managing a broad spectrum of the shared musical heritage, including the Sami and Kven music, culture, and traditions. Together with bands and artists from Norway and abroad, within genres such as pop, rock, folk music and joik, the Arctic Philharmonic contributes to regional, national, and international musical stages.
