The Nordic Choir Expedition
A Sea of Voices:
Eric Ericsons Kammarkör
June offers a unique opportunity to hear four of the foremost choirs of the Nordics in one place in Oslo! Welcome to the mini-festival A Sea of Voices.
From 3rd to the 5th of June, the city will be filled with choir music of the highest order, featuring Helsinki Chamber Choir, Ars Nova Copenhagen, The Norwegian Soloists' Choir og Eric Ericson Chamber Choir.
In the first concert we meet Swedish Eric Ericsons Kammarkör under the direction of conductor Fredrik Malmberg. The ensemble was founded in 1945 and has since taken a central position in the Swedish and international music scene. In Eric Ericson Chamber Choir you find Sweden’s foremost ensemble singers who, beyond their own solo singing careers and other important musical endeavours, have chosen to take part in this vital ensemble work.
