Sølvguttene, whose name translates to "The Silver Boys," is a renowned Norwegian boys' choir hailing from Oslo. The choir was founded by Torstein Grythe in 1940 and has since become a national treasure, known for its crystal-clear sound and exceptional musical quality. Initially formed to provide music for radio broadcasts during World War II, Sølvguttene has grown into one of Norway's most beloved and respected musical institutions. The group performs a diverse repertoire that spans from traditional Norwegian folk songs to classical pieces and contemporary works.
The choir is perhaps best known for its annual Christmas concerts, which have become a cherished tradition for many Norwegians. Their sound captures the essence of the festive season, as evidenced by albums like "Julekongen," "Julemesse - Missa in Nativitate Domini," and "Juleevangeliet - Julen Er For Alle." Over the years, Sølvguttene has not only delighted audiences within Norway but has also garnered international acclaim through tours and performances. Comprised of boys and young men ranging from school age to the late teens, Sølvguttene has nurtured many generations of singers, contributing to the cultural fabric of Norway and beyond with its dedication to musical excellence.
