OSLO CHAMBER CHOIR
Oslo Chamber Choir was founded in 1984 by Grete Pedersen, with the ambition of being one of the absolute top choirs of Norway, and an innovative voice in the international arena. Parallel to singing classical repertoire, Oslo Chamber Choir has acquired a unique expression by being the only choir where all the singers are profoundly trained in Norwegian folk music singing. The choir was selected to sing at the opening ceremony of the winter Olympics in Lillehammer in 1994, at the Norwegian church’s 1000-years anniversary, and the European Union’s culture city exhibition in 1996 for representing Norway. Oslo Chamber Choir has in the recent years been visiting numerous festivals and held concerts and tours in Europe, Asia and the USA. In 2014 the choir was invited to participate in the 10th World Symposium on Choral Music (WSCM) and traveled to Seoul, South Korea. Oslo Chamber Choir also participated in the WSCM in Kyoto in 2005. In 2007 and 2009, the choir toured the USA, including concerts in St. Olaf College, Concordia College and broadcasting on Minnesota public radio, which later was broadcasted all over the USA. In 2015, Oslo Chamber Choir was once again invited to the USA, this time to sing at the Inagural Concert of the Center for Music and Liturgy at Saint Thomas More Chapel at Yale. The concert was held in Carnegie Hall in june 2015.

MUSICA INTIMA
Internationally renowned for their warm and engaging stage presence, impeccable musicianship, and unique perspective on ensemble singing, musica intima has earned a reputation as Canada’s most exciting vocal ensemble. “These singers make eye contact with their audience, creating an achingly intimate, holy moment in each performance. Their shows transform the venue into beauty’s own temple. Judge for yourself; this description isn’t hyperbole” says John Keillor of Vancouver’s Georgia Straight. But what makes musica intima truly unique is that the singers rehearse, perform and function as a collective. In rehearsal they use a shared leadership model, exchanging ideas freely while exploring their own musical creativity. In performance, they engage the audience with a spontaneity and directness all their own. Founded in 1992, musica intima has become an integral part of Canada’s cultural fabric. A distinctly Canadian ensemble, musica intima regularly commissions, champions and premieres works by Canada’s leading composers including Michael Osterle, Ana Sokolovic, José Evangelista, Peter Hannan, Jocelyn Morlock, Keith Hamel Jordan Nobles, and Jeffrey Ryan. The ensemble has graced the stages of some of Canada’s best known festivals, championing contemporary Canadian vocal repertoire in concert halls such as Orford Festival, Elora Festival, Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival, Festival de Lanaudière, Palais Montcalm, and the Domaine Forget International Festival. Also an international presence, musica intima has performed twice at the American Choral Directors Association Conference, has appeared at Polyfollia Festival in France, the Cork International Choral Festival in Ireland, and the World Symposium on Choral Music in Denmark. Musica intima is frequently heard on national and international radio broadcasts and has released seven commercial recordings, five of which can be found on the ATMA Classique label: 20 (2012), into light (2010), o nata lux (2008), forgotten peoples (2006), invocation (2004), and clear (2002). In addition, they recorded the CBC-produced nativite (2002), which was nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award, and the ensemble’s Juno award-nominated debut album musica intima (1998). Their most recent recording, THIRST, is a disc of contemporary works co-produced with Turning Point Ensemble and can be found on the Redshift Records label.
