nordic voices

Formed in 1996, the six-voice a cappella group Nordic Voices comprises graduates from the Norwegian Academy of Music and the Norwegian Academy of Opera who, in addition to their singing backgrounds, have a broad range of experience from choral conducting to teacher training and composition. The group explores a wide spectrum of musical expression, from plainchant to new works commissioned from leading Norwegian composers; from the most sacred of religious texts to the strongly secular.

In concert, Nordic Voices present programme concepts revolving around themes, for example historical figures or textual links, bringing the music to life in sometimes unexpected ways. The group has also explored the world of electronics, with works exploiting not only electronic amplification but also sampling, mixing and video art. Artistic creativity, versatility, technical precision – these are the primary ingredients of the perfect recipe for a performing arts ensemble.

We are the nordic voices

Artistic creativity, versatility, technical precision – these are the primary ingredients of the perfect recipe for a performing arts ensemble. One other ingredient, that indescribable something that we tend to call audience appeal, makes the picture complete. These are precisely the elements that make up Nordic Voices, a six-voice a cappella group that has been making waves not only in Norway, but in places as far afield as Japan, Taiwan, Canada and USA.
