The auditions are over for this term. Welcome to apply again at the end of summer!

Sing with Teknologkören!

Do you love singing in a choir? Do you want to develop your music skills, and at the same time get more out of student activities?

Then you have come to the right place! With Kongl. Teknologkören you get the best of both worlds: classic choir with high ambitions and an exciting student life with a community that unites students from all over KTH. For a year now, we have been led by our new conductor, Hanna Ohlson Nordh, who recently won the prize for best conductor at a choir competition in Austria!

We rehearse on Thursdays from 18:30 to 21:30 at KTH Campus Valhallavägen.

Go to our YouTube channel to hear what we sound like!

What to expect at the audition?

At the audition you will meet our conductor, Hanna Ohlson Nordh, and four choir members. The audition will take about 10-15 minutes and we will start with a short warm up, followed by a quartet where you will sing Uti vår hage together with three choir members. After that you will sing a solo piece (either Sommarpsalm or Kristallen den fina) and if there is time left there will also be a few pitch and sight reading exercises. You will receive sheet music after you have applied.

What should I prepare?

• Your voice in Uti vår hage which you will perform in a quartet together with three current members of the choir that will sing the other voices. You may practice at home for the part you are applying for, but it is not a requirement to know the piece by heart and it is absolutely okay to use sheet music.

• One of the following solo pieces (choose the song that you feel the most comfortable singing): Sommarpsalm (En vänlig grönska) or Kristallen den fina. You are expected to learn the melody (the soprano voice) in a key of your choice that fits your voice the best. You will sing the first verse of the song, without accompaniment. Using sheet music as support is absolutely okay.

Applying for auditions

We accept new members at the start of each semester. This semester we are only able to accept active KTH students and exchange students. We hold auditions on the 27/1 and 28/1. The last day to apply is the 23/1. After applying you will get a confirmation e-mail and shortly after an e-mail with the sheet music and further information. On the 23/1 you will receive another e-mail with an allotted time for your audition. Make sure to check your junk inbox in case you can't find the e-mail! Please reply and confirm your participation, otherwise you allotted time will go to someone else.

In Teknologkören you are expected to have experience singing in a choir and reading sheet music. You should also have enough time to commit to the choir and to attend rehearsals, concerts and other performances. If this applies to you, you are very welcome to apply for an audition. Please fill in this application form!
