As a member of The Swedish Radio Choir you are a part of a choir known worldwide for its unique sound.
Stockholm
For more than 90 years, the Swedish Radio Choir has contributed to the development of the Swedish a cappella tradition. Under the leadership of legendary conductor Eric Ericson, the choir earned great international renown and is still hailed as one of the best choirs in the world. The choir members’ ability to switch between powerful solo performances to seamlessly integrating themselves in the ensemble creates a unique and dynamic instrument praised by critics and music lovers alike, as well as by the many guest conductors who explore and challenge the choir’s possibilities.
The permanent home of the Swedish Radio Choir since 1979 is Berwaldhallen, the Swedish Radio’s concert hall. In addition to the seated audience, the choir reaches millions of listeners on the radio and online in Sweden and throughout the world. Several concerts are also broadcast and streamed on Berwaldhallen Play, offering the audience more opportunities to come as close as possible to one of the world’s top choirs.
Kaspars Putniņš is the tenth Chief Conductor of the Swedish Radio Choir and Marc Korovitch is its choirmaster, both responsible of the ensemble’s continued artistic development. Two former Chief Conductors, Tõnu Kaljuste and Peter Dijkstra, have been appointed Conductors Laureate and continue to make guest appearances.

The Swedish Radio Choir is a part of Swedish Public Service and is strongly anchored in values of democracy, freedom of speech and the equal value of human beings.
