Our history

Sang over Grenser (Singing Without Borders) is an innovative, non-profit project created to bring together amateurs and professionals in a shared passion for singing. The project has seen remarkable growth year after year, evidenced by an increasing number of workshop participants, soloists, and concerts. Originally focused on the Norwegian and Polish communities, the initiative has expanded significantly, welcoming soloists and choir singers from Germany, Italy, Denmark, Ukraine, Israel, Mexico, Poland, and Norway this year.
