The group's visit, from Haslum, near Oslo, initially planned as a leisure trip, transformed into a cultural exchange experience with the local Calp community, without prior programming.
During their stay, and on their own initiative, the young musicians offered a musical performance coinciding with the summer solstice and the celebration of Sant Joan's Night. This gesture held special symbolism as it aligned with a tradition also present in Norway, known as Jonsok or Sankthansaften, marked by fire, light, and connection to the sea.
This experience is part of the ongoing effort by the Calp City Council to promote tourism focused on cultural exchange and building lasting relationships with communities abroad. Previously, the municipality has hosted initiatives such as the twinning of the Rondalla de Calp with Bebra (Germany) and visits from young orchestras from Berlin. An Irish gospel choir is also scheduled to perform in October.
