The choir's repertoire spans a wide range of music, including contemporary works and time-honored classics, demonstrating their versatility and depth of musical skills.
Among their notable releases, "Folkjul II: A Swedish Folk Christmas" delves into the yuletide traditions of their homeland, weaving a tapestry of Scandinavian melodies and Christmas cheer. Their performance of Handel's "Messiah" showcases their ability to tackle complex baroque compositions with clarity and emotional impact. While "Damijan Mocnik: et LUX perpetua" reflects the choir's commitment to modern works, "Canto General", based on the poetry of Pablo Neruda, displays their talent for capturing the powerful intersection of music and literature. Their renditions of J.S. Bach's masterpieces, "St. John Passion" and the "Motets", further testify to their expertise in the classical choral tradition. Finally, their recordings of G. Södersten's works – "Kärlekens lov" and "Gud är kärlek" – offer a glimpse into Swedish choral music's rich emotional landscape and spiritual depth.
