Chamber Chats: Festival Edition with Nordic Voices

Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre | 355 Cooper St, Ottawa, ON

Come and meet the incredible Nordic Voices, a six-voice a cappella group made up of graduates of the Norwegian Academy of Music and the Norwegian Academy of Opera. They define their musicality as combining artistic creativity, versatility, and technical precision, with stylish performances and sophisticated music-making, and more often than not with a dash of humour and fun. They perform the widest spectrum of music, where Lassus rubs shoulders with Ligeti and Norwegian contemporary composer Henrik Hellstenius, and Dufay with Huber and Nystedt.
