The Seventh-day Adventist Music Organization of Norway, SAMNOR, has over 100 members. It is led by IAMA member Eivend Keyn and administered by a board of seven. Most of its members are church members who are interested in or working with music. It publishes a quarterly magazine with articles from Norway and abroad and arranges music programs, "hymn praise" worships and workshops, in Norwegian churches. Its last major venture was a heavily advertised "Millennium Concert" held in the Cathedral of Oslo, a Lutheran State Church.

The concert both celebrated the passing of a millennium and Oslo’s 1000th anniversary. They were assisted in this concert by the Swedish Adventist music group, SAMS, SDA Music in Sweden, which is co-chaired by Eivend’s daughter Elbjørg Keyn Lundstrom, director of music at our Swedish SDA Junior College, Ekebyholm, and Cecilia Blomstedt, daughter of Herbert Blomstedt. More than 600 attended this Sunday afternoon concert which involved more than 200 participants, including an orchestra, four choirs, and soloists.

The two organizations also work together in presenting Summer Music Camps at the SDA Swedish Junior College, Ekebyholm. These festivals are held almost every summer. One summer the camp was held in Norway at the Norwegian Junior College at Tyrifjord. The camps typically last for one week and include musicians of all ages. Activities include master classes, music making, and preparing for private and public concerts at the end of the week. These camps have been very popular, and have nurtured young musicians who have eventually become professional musicians and music educators.
