NOVA Chamber Choir endeavours to develop concert programmes that provide its audiences with unforgettable experiences, and provide the ensemble and its individual singers with musical challenges to grow on. Based in classical tradition and the Nordic sound, it has commissioned new pieces by a range of Norwegian composers. Over the years NOVA Chamber Choir has collaborated with a number of orchestras, soloists and actors. The choir gives regular concerts in and around Oslo, and also frequently travels abroad. It has taken part, and been awarded prizes, in several renowned choir competitions around Europe – most recently 1st prize and a special prize for the best interpretation of a piece from the Romantic era, at the International Chamber Choir Competition Marktoberdorf 2017. “Of Light and Dust” is the choir’s third recording on the LAWO Classics label.
