Nidarosdomens jentekor

The Nidarosdomens Jentekor, or Nidaros Cathedral Girls' Choir, is one of Scandinavia's most highly regarded youth vocal ensembles. The group often performs contemporary music and has commissioned and premiered many new pieces. The Nidarosdomens Jentekor was established in Trondheim, Norway, in 1992. (Nidaros was the former name of the city of Trondheim.) Anita Brevik has been the group's conductor and artistic director since its founding. The choir consists of two subgroups, the Girls' Group (for singers ages 10 to 13) and the Youth Group (ages 14 to 19), for a total of 75 to 80 singers. It is recognized as one of the top youth vocal ensembles in Norway and across Scandinavia; the choir is nationally renowned in Norway and has performed at such festivities as the 2002 wedding of Princess Märtha Louise. That year, the choir released its debut album, Som en Rose, on the Proa label. The group has also sung on multiple occasions for the King and Queen of Norway. Twice, in 2005 and 2013, the Nidarosdomens Jentekor collaborated with the St. Olaf Choir from St. Olaf College in the U.S. state of Minnesota; the concerts were recorded at the Nidarosdomen and were broadcast on the PBS television network in the U.S. and on Norway's NRK. In 2014, the choir released Magnificat, its first album on the 2L label, where it has continued to record; that album won a Grammy Award for Best Surround Sound Recording. That album featured the Trondheim Soloists; the Nidarosdomens Jentekor has frequently collaborated with that group, as well as with the Trondheim Symphony Orchestra. The choir has toured widely, both within Norway and beyond, and it has been led by such guest conductors as Edward Higginbottom, Grete Pedersen, Andrew Parrott, and composer-conductor Bob Chilcott; the latter is one of the many contemporary composers whose music the group has performed. The Nidarosdomens Jentekor and the Trondheim Soloists returned on 2L in 2019 with the album Lux and in 2022 with Kim André Arnesen: Tuvayhun.
