The Academy Chamber Choir of Uppsala is a mixed choir with approximately 35 singers. Our extensive repertoire encompasses early music as well as new music written for the choir. Performing contemporary a cappella music has become our speciality; examples include first performances of Swedish composers such as Lars Edlund and Sven-David Sandström.

At the beginning of June, the Academy Chamber Choir of Uppsala (UAK) will host its next exciting concert. This time it will be a botanical deep dive into classical choral music, together with the young rising star Anton Alexis Hallgren as guest conductor. We are looking to add a few more singers in the tenor and bass parts. Applicants should have solid choral experience, good voice quality and music reading skills, and most importantly, love for choral music as an art form. In return, you will get to work together with a friendly and high-performing choir, an exciting repertoire at a high musical level, and an innovative and inspiring conductor.
The concert takes place on June 3 and we rehearse on Mondays between 19:00 and 21.30.
Does it sound interesting? Please send an email no later than March 30 to audit@uak.se, describing your choir and singing experience and whether you sing tenor or bass. Suitable candidates will be invited to a short admission session.
