About Guldberg's
“Male choral singing is the best and worst thing I know.”
- Ansgar Guldberg
Are you yearning for both song and companionship?
We are seeking singers with a passion for male choral music, and who wish to help carry our proud traditions and heritage forward. Get in touch with us if you are interested in learning more about the choir or arranging an audition. We rehearse every Monday at Ruseløkka School in Oslo.
We hold auditions at the beginning of each semester. Contact us if you are interested in auditioning for us!
Our history
The Guldberg Academic Choral Society was founded on 8th of May 1916 in Kristiania (Oslo).
Lofty cigar smoking, punch, and academic repartee were never elective subjects at the Academy of Music, nor were they likely recommended by any singing teacher as prerequisites for refined musical interpretation. Nevertheless, Ansgar Guldberg, Sophus Brochmann, H. P. Blix, and Paul Gjesdal, together with some twenty fellow singing enthusiasts, convened this Monday for a constitutive meeting that would mark a new turn in Norwegian choral history.
