From Norway to Normandy

Harmonies of the European Choir

The Norwegian National Youth Choir, Chœur National des Jeunes de Norvège, was founded in 1987 by Joar Rørmark and Carl Høgset. Every summer, this choir project gathers 40 singers, aged 16 to 26, from all regions of Norway.

The repertoire is broad, ranging from Renaissance and Romantic music to contemporary music, as well as national and international folk music. The choir has participated in several national and international choral festivals and competitions and has also won several awards over the years.

The choir has been conducted since 2026 by Oddgeir Kjetilstad, a prestigious name in Norwegian choral life. The musical program will consist of religious and folk music from Norway and internationally.

The project of the Norwegian National Youth Choir is supported by the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and is administered by the Norwegian Association of Children and Youth Choirs, Ung i Kor.
