Orkester Norden is a symphony orchestra for young musicians who are 15 to 26 years old when the orchestra meets. You can join if you are a student at a conservatory in Scandinavia or the Baltic States, or if you are a citizen of one of these countries and attend a conservatory in another country.

Keep in mind that even if you do not meet all the eligibility criterias, we still encourage you to apply.
You will be considered for any potential vacancies in the orchestra.

Hope to see you in Lahti 2023!!!

Participation in ON ’23 is free and travel during the course/concert tour is included.
We provide daily meals and shared hostel rooms. More practical info will be sent to you if you get an invitation to the orchestra.
