NOVA Chamber Choir

Kammerkoret nova (NOVA Chamber Choir) was founded in 2001 and is known for its homogeneous sound and its ability to convey musical moods. The choir has won a number of prizes, national and international. In the autumn of 2009 NOVA won two fi rst prizes at the Grieg International Choir Festival. That same autumn it also won the adult choir category at Let the Peoples Sing, the European Broadcasting Union’s international competition for amateur choirs. Kammerkoret NOVA appeared in 2012 in a performance of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 in Oslo Concert Hall and Mozart’s Requiem in Stavanger Cathedral — this in addition to a number of larger concerts and performances of commissioned works by Ola Gjeilo, Henrik Ødegård, Andrew Smith, and Torbjørn Dyrud, among others. Vivianne Sydnes conducted this recorded performance.
