**Consortium Vocale Oslo** is a Norwegian vocal ensemble specializing in early music, particularly Gregorian chant and sacred works from the medieval and Renaissance periods. Founded and directed by Torbjørn Ottersen, the group is celebrated for its meticulous approach to historical performance practice, blending scholarly research with emotive artistry. Based in Oslo, they often collaborate with medieval music experts and instrumentalists to recreate the rich soundscapes of ancient liturgical traditions.
Their recent releases, like *Resurrexi. Eastern In Gregorian Chant* and *Historia Sancti Olavi*, highlight their focus on reviving Norway’s medieval Christian heritage, including music tied to St. Olav, the country’s patron saint. Projects such as *Viadana: Officium defunctorum - Missa pro defunctis* showcase their versatility in interpreting lesser-known Renaissance compositions. Known for atmospheric live performances in churches and historical venues, Consortium Vocale Oslo bridges the gap between centuries-old sacred music and contemporary audiences, offering a serene yet powerful listening experience.
