MOGENS DAHL CHAMBER CHOIR

Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir was established in 2005. Its artistic roots come from Nordic a cappella tradition, but from the very beginning the choir’s goal has been to exceed the limits set for a professional vocal ensemble. Genres, organisation form, partners, concept development - everything that is choir-related - has one single objective: visionary vocal art based on the soul-stirring wealth of human voice.

★★★★★★
“So new, so compelling [...] "The Messiah" with Mogens Dahl’s skilled infantry and English elite forces must be one of the best in Europe right now.”
– Søren Schauser, Berlingske, Dec. 11. 2017 (On Messiah)

♥♥♥♥♥
”Both mild and mighty”
– Thomas Michelsen, Politiken, 10. december 2017 (On Messiah)

★★★★★★
“It’s choral singing at the highest level here.”
– Magasinet Klassisk. (On Nordic Mass)

THE CHAMBER CHOIR

Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir is a unique choir project. A pool of about 40 excellent young singers form the backbone of the ensemble - usuallly appearing on stage in the form of a classic chamber choir with 16 singers. Genre and concept are essential when determining the choir composition for each concert project in order to guarantee that we always present the audience with a highly specialised, homogeneous and expressive whole.
