AN AFTERNOON CONCERT WITH
Nidaros Cathedral Choir, NORWAY
Conductor: Vivianne Sydnes

Nidaros Cathedral Choir was established in 1946, and consists of 40 singers. The choir gives some 15 concerts yearly, and plays a central role in the cathedral services.

The choir sets high standards for itself, aiming at performing the main sacred works from the rich repertoire of choir works. Pieces for a cappella choir are their main priority, but they also perform works with soloists and with orchestral accompaniment. The choir spans musical expressions ranging from Gregorian chants, via renaissance music sung in smaller groups, to pieces for double choir by contemporary composers.

The choir has established a central position in the rich musical scene of Trondheim, and has been under the leadership of cantor Vivianne Sydnes since 2002. The choir has participated at the Trondheim Chamber Music Festival, and cooperates regularly with the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, the Norwegian Baroque Orchestra and National Broadcasting.

The activities include tours abroad; in July 2006 the choir performed in the Notre Dame cathedrals of Paris, Chartres and Rouen.
