The St. Olaf Choir, founded in 1912 by F. Melius Christiansen at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota, has set a gold standard for choral music in the United States and beyond. Esteemed for their artistry and precision, this ensemble consists of select mixed voices from the college, and under the guidance of only a handful of directors over its century-long existence, it has maintained a continuity of sound and purpose that is rare in collegiate choral music. With Dr. Anton Armstrong at the helm since 1990, the choir continues to build on its storied legacy, touring nationally and internationally to widespread acclaim.

Renowned for their interpretations of sacred music, The St. Olaf Choir's diverse discography showcases their vast range, from the intricate harmonies of Baroque classics to the vibrant rhythms of modern spirituals. Their most recent releases, such as "Christmas in Norway" and "Great Hymns of Faith" series, highlight the choir's ability to deliver moving performances that resonate with audiences of all backgrounds. Through their regular live recordings, they share the transformative experience of their concerts with listeners around the globe, continually reaffirming the power and beauty of choral music.
