The Copenhagen Girls' Choir
Claus Vestergaard Jensen, conductor
The Copenhagen Girls' Choir rates among the best of its kind in Denmark and has its home at the Sankt Annæ Gymnasium, the Copenhagen Municipal Choir School. The Copenhagen Girls' Choir was founded in 1973 and is under the patronage of HRH Princess Benedikte, and is resident choir at Helligaandskirken in Copenhagen (Church of the Holy Spirit). The Choir aims to balance between the more challeging and the more uncomplicated music in its programs. In this way the concerts appeal to both regular and new audiences. The repertoire is broad with special focus on new music and popular music. Many composers of stature have felt persuaded to write for the choir, among them Knut Nystedt, Ib Nørholm, Leif Kayser, Maj-Britt Kramer, Bo Holten and Michael Bojesen. The choir also performs music by classic composers such as Fauré, Poulenc, Brahms, Schubert and Rheinberger. The Copenhagen Girls' Choir is characterized by its homogenous sound, partly resulting from the fact that the girls are of the same age, partly a result of the careful voice-training that all the pupils of the Sankt Annæ Gymnasium go through. The Copenhagen Girls' Choir consists of all the girls from grade 6 through 9 at the Sankt Annæ Gymnasium, nearly 130 girls altogether. Depending on the task at hand, the choir usually performs with somewhere between 30 and 60 voices. The Copenhagen Girls' Choir has recorded several CDs throughout the years and has toured all over the World, always aiming to spread out the knowledge of Danish and Scandinavian music and timbre.
