The Oslo Chamber Choir
The Oslo Chamber Choir was founded as a classical vocal ensemble 25 years ago. But they've been branching out into new territory in the past few years. Their unique layerings of Norwegian folk music with classical choral works were a big hit with PT listeners when we first aired them. Now they have a new CD, called Strid. Today and Monday, The Oslo Chamber Choir joins host Fred Child for music and conversation in the PT studios.
