Uranienborg Vokalensemble

Uranienborg Vokalensemble, under the keen direction of Elisabeth Holte, is a choir that has been making significant waves in contemporary choral music. Based in Oslo, Norway, the ensemble was founded with a vision to create a group with flexibility in size and repertoire, allowing for both intimate chamber music settings and larger-scale works. Over the years, they have developed a distinctive sound that marries the rich traditions of Norwegian choral music with fresh, innovative approaches to composition and performance.

The ensemble's releases, such as "Himmelborgen", "HIMMELRAND", and its holistic mix counterpart, showcase their commitment to exploring thematic concepts through a tapestry of vocal harmonies. Their music often carries a sense of the ethereal, blending the sacred with the contemporary, something particularly palpable in works like "Song" and "Våkenetter". With these recordings, Uranienborg Vokalensemble often collaborates with Norwegian composers to create a repertoire that speaks not only to Norway's musical heritage but also to a global audience yearning for choral music that touches on the sublime.
