Singing in Swedish is a thing!
Join our Swedish-American chorus and enjoy a bit of Scandinavian culture! Find out more.
We enjoy the richness of Swedish music, culture, and traditions. Singing with others feels good. It’s a great way to start your week!
We perform a wide selection of SATB music. At least half of every performance is sung in Swedish. Our Swedish pieces may be popular or newer compositions, like Äntilgen på väg, Gabriellas Sång, and En skrift i snön, or traditional songs, like Uti vår hage or Jul, jul, strålande jul. We’ve sung in Latin (Morton Lauridson’s Lux Aeterna) and in Norwegian and French, too.
