Allmänna Sången is a distinguished Swedish choir with a rich history that can be traced back to its foundation in 1830, making it one of Sweden's oldest choirs. The ensemble is based in Uppsala, a city known for its vibrant cultural life and historic university, which has fostered a deep connection between the choir and the academic community. Over the years, Allmänna Sången has maintained a tradition of fostering Swedish choral music and has expanded its repertoire to encompass a broad range of genres and styles.

Allmänna Sången is recognized for both its commitment to classical choral works and its exploration of contemporary pieces, which is evident from their recent releases that cover a wide spectrum of musical expression. The choir's versatility is demonstrated through performances of traditional Swedish songs like "Helan går" and "Studentsången," reflective of their cultural heritage. Simultaneously, they embrace modern compositions as seen in "Femina moderna" and explore international works with pieces such as "Fanshawe: African Sanctus," highlighting their global musical curiosity.
