The Norwegian National Youth Choir

The Norwegian National Youth Choir was founded by Joar Rørmark and Carl Høgset in 1987 and consists of singers between 16 and 26 years of age from all parts of Norway.

The Norwegian National Youth Choir repertoire is broad and differs from year to year; from renaissance and romantic music, national and international folk music to contemporary music. The choir has participated in several international choral festivals and competitions, winning several prizes.

THIS SEASON

In 2021 - 2023, the choir is conducted by Nina T. Karlsen.

In 2023 we celebrate the year of folk music, with a new work for fiddle and choir by Bjørn Andor Drage, focusing on Norwegian folk music for choir and a recording. Our fiddle soloist is Tiril Eirunn Einarsdotter.

The highlight of the year is the summer tour to Turkey and concerts at CSO Ada Ankara on 4th of July and in the churches of St. Antuan and Surp Levon in Istanbul on 7th and 8th of July in collaboration with the turkish chamber choirs Rezonans (conductor: Burak Onur Erdem) and Jazzberry Tunes (conductor: Yiğit Deniz).
