Voci
Nobili is a female choir affiliated with Bergen University
College in Norway. The choir has gained wide recognition
as an exceptionally fine vocal ensemble, and has won international
choral competitions in Ireland, France, Sweden and Italy.
Most recently they returned from the prestigious competition
Sligo International Choirfestival in Ireland with three
out of four possible 1st prices, including top awards to
the choir and the conductor, Maria Gamborg Helbekkmo.
While
Voci Nobili’s repertoire is firmly rooted in classical
composers like Bach, Grieg and Britten, the choir does not
shy away from works by exciting contemporary composers like
Javier Busto, Jeffrey Biegel and Knut Nystedt. Depending on
the occasion, they will also mix in an occasional Broadway
tune or a Norwegian folk song. At this concert there will
be a New York premiere of Jeffrey Biegel’s
new composition “Hey, ho, the wind and the rain"
for female voices and piano and the choir's pianist Geir
Botnen will also give a solo performance..
Voci
Nobili has been invited to perform at the National Convention
of the American Choral Directors Association in Los Angeles
in February 2005. On their way to California they will make
a stop in New York. We would be honored to welcome you to
Voci Nobili’s much awaited performance at Merkin Concert
Hall in New York, Sunday January 30th, 2005.
