¸£Àû¼§ Chamber Choir is a mixed choir linked to ¸£Àû¼§. Our concerts aim to give the audience new experiences, new worlds of sounds, thought-provoking lyrics and emotional experiences that will stay with them long after the concert has ended.

Community and closeness

The choir was founded in 1989 and currently consists of 40 experienced singers (10 sopranos, 10 altos, 10 tenors and 10 basses). They are students, LiU alumni and other singers wanting to sing at an advanced level. The choir produces concerts both on their own and in collaboration with the county’s orchestras, visiting ensembles or soloists. Our conductor is Director Musices Jakob Grubbström.

We offer the unique community and closeness that choir singing provides for both singers and audience. Being able to meet in music and lyrics, and sharing our presence and expression in our meeting with the audience enriches our lives and gives us energy.

Repertoire

The choir focuses on the vocal interplay in the ensemble, and on musical expression. As the choir is musically based in classical choir music, we often sing a cappella, i.e. without any accompanying instruments. Our genre-fluid repertoire consists mainly of classical choir music, focusing on contemporary music.

We often collaborate with Östgötamusiken and Norrköping Symphony Orchestra in repertoires from various eras. We also produce genre-defying events, recordings and concerts with visiting musicians in various locations across Östergötland.

Sing with us!

Do you have a good singing voice and plenty of experience of singing in a choir or vocal ensemble? Are you used to reading music and want to develop further as part of an ensemble? Do you want to meet new friends and make new contacts? Then we would like to hear from you!

Our choir enjoys the concert experience and often gives several concerts with the same programme. This gives us the opportunity to visit different parts of our county, or neighbouring counties, to offer a concert experience full of good choir music.

We work with vocal coach Mattias Danielsson Lindqvist, who is with us during rehearsals to guide our singers in their vocal journey.
Our rehearsals take place about ten times per term, every second Thursday between 7 and 10 pm, in Musicum, Campus Valla, Linköping.
Does this sound like an exciting challenge? If so, do contact our conductor Jakob Grubbström, who will answer your questions and register you for an audition.
