Svanholm Singers is an extraordinary male voice chamber choir. Since its formation in 1998, the ensemble has established itself as one of the brightest shining stars on the Swedish choral scene. The twenty talented singers constantly strive to develop and refine their artistic and musical expression, through vocal music for male voices. The core of the repertoire is the male choir tradition of Scandinavia and the Baltic. Through numerous tours and awards in Europe and Japan the ensemble has gained a reputation for performances characterized by spirit and joy while making unique interpretations of classical music. The light voices of the singers in combination with an exact intonation create a unique sound that has become the trademark for Svanholm Singers. The choir was named after Set Svanholm (1904-1964), world famous opera tenor and father of Eva Svanholm Bohlin, who was the founder and first conductor of Svanholm Singers.
Sofia Söderberg Eberhard has been the conductor of Svanholm Singers since 2001. She studied singing, the piano, the organ and choral conducting at the Malmö Academy of Music and Baroque cello at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm. Sofia has established herself as a distinguished choral conductor, and is now working as chorus master at Malmö Opera. She has been awarded numerous prizes for her conducting, e.g. at VIII Orlando di Lasso Choir Festival in Rome, Italy (2000), Horat Cantavi in Suwalki, Poland (2002), the Fourth International Madetoja Competition in Lahti, Finland (2005) and in the 45th Seghizzi Concorso Internazionale di Canto Corale, Gorizia, Italy (2006). In addition, her interpretations have been recognized with a number of honours.
