COR is the word for “heart“ in Latin;
it is the hearts of the audience that the ensemble wishes to affect with its
music. COR is a recently formed, advanced vocal ensemble from Uppsala,
Sweden, with 16—22 singers. They all have a great deal of experience of
choir singing, from prominent choirs in Uppsala and Stockholm, among others
Orphei Drängar.
By having a smaller number of members
the choir seeks to stretch the limits with regard to how a cappella music
from different periods can sound. COR has a broad repertoire, including
early music and baroque as weil as fo music and romantic and modern music.
The ensemble readily performs pieces for 12 and 16 voices which places great
demands on the skills of the singers.
Except for
regular concerts COR has been invited to participate in various musical
projects, for example first performances and master classes
