The melodic beauty of Norwegian choral works by composers such as Edvard Grieg and Knut Nystedt reflects both their closeness to nature and their spiritual roots. Let us take you on a journey through the Norwegian singing tradition with the Norwegian Girls Choir under the direction of Anne Karin Sundal.
Norwegian Girls Choir, Norway
The Norwegian Girls Choir continues the work of the Norwegian Radio Girls Choir, founded in 1947, by providing a musically nurturing environment for young female singers aged 6 to 26. The requirements are high, and in order to be allowed to audition, all applicants must already play an instrument and have mastered prima vista singing. They later receive individual voice training, ear training and lessons in music theory. The success of this approach can be measured by the number of outstanding female musicians that the choir has produced. It is considered an important player in the country's cultural life and has performed with many renowned ensembles. It is a welcome guest at festivals all over the world. Its two recordings "Folketoner" (2017) and "Stille grender" (2020) were both nominated for a GRAMMY for "Best Immersive Audio Album". The choir is under the patronage of Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Mette-Marit.
