In February 2022, 15 Ukrainian musicians embarked on a short tour with their orchestra to Italy. The next day, they woke up to the news that Russia had invaded their homeland. The orchestra decided to expand their tour across Europe to raise awareness of the atrocities occurring in Ukraine. After 60 days on tour, having performed in over 40 venues, they were offered the opportunity to stay in the North Norwegian town of Bodø and were given work at the Arctic Philharmonic.
