Concert - Norwegian Choir Baerumkoret
With 52 active members Baerumkoret is one of the largest mixed choirs in the Baerum area,
which is located right outside Oslo, the capital of Norway.
The choir has its roots as a socialist choir originated in 1951. In 1980 the members changed
the name to Baerumkoret and decided the choir should be politically neutral.
The repertoire is broad and Baerumkoret likes to express themselves through a variety of
styles such as musicals, jazz, pop and ballads - as well as classical choir music and church
music. The choir invites to at least three concerts a year - one in the Spring, one in the
Fall and the renowned annual Christmas concert held in December in the local church at
Hoevik.
In addition to hosting their own concerts the choir often partner with other choirs and
musicians. The musical leader and conductor of the choir is Mr. Pål Rullestad, who has
performed in this role since August 2011.
In the last 5 years the choir has performed in the following concerts and projects:
