Voci Nobili was established in 1989 by its present conductor, Maria Gamborg Helbekkmo. The choir consists of about 25 female singers, most of whom are students at Bergen University College or the University of Bergen. The singers are accepted on the basis of an audition. None of them are professional, but they all spend an average of 500 hours a year with the choir, rehearsing, competing and giving concerts. The choir, which has gained wide recognition as an exceptionally fine vocal ensemble, has given a number of concerts in Norway and abroad, and has won several national and international choral competitions. While Voci Nobilis 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.
