The Norwegian Girl´s Choir is an institution with a proud tradition that performs at the highest artist level. The Choir originated as the National Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK) Girls´ Choir, and now operates as an independent entity. We have made our mark both domestically and internationally by winning several prizes and awards.

We enjoy performing music from a wide repertoire;  Norwegian folk music, classical works, and also complex, modern compositions commissioned & premiered by the Choir. Our singers are auditioned from amongst talented girls from the Oslo region. Our artistic director, Anne Karin Sundal-Ask has led several of the Norway´s best choirs and has received many awards and recognitions.

The Crown Princess of Norway handpicked The Norwegian Girls´ Choir to perform on her CD-release, “Sorgen og gleden” (Grief &
Joy) in 2008. The Choir appears often on TV & radio with Norway´s national broadcaster, NRK. At the 2009 Norwegian National Choir Competition in Trondheim the Choir won prizes and the overall competition award for best group.

Several well known Norwegian singers and artists are have started their careers in The Norwegian Girls´ Choir, among them soprano Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz and popular entertainers Hege Schøyen and Anita Skorgan.

The Norwegian Girls´ Choir is touring extensively. In recent years we have performed in France, Italy, Sweden, Scotland and Japan. In 2012, the choir will be touring in the US, performing a commissioned work by composer Ola Gjello.
