Mannskoret Sangkam

Norway

The men´s choir “SangKam” was founded in August 2019. The main group of members had earlier participated in a project choir leaded by the conductor Erland Dalen. SangKam started with about 40 members.During four years until today the number of singers has increased to about 50 - nearly likely distributed on the different four voices and also with a wide age distribution. The members are very motivated and dedicated for this activity, and a main task for the members is to enjoy singing and stimulate a well-being environment. As a part of this development the conductor Erland Dalen has a continuous and strong focus on improving the quality level. The choir exercise weekly and we arrange typical 2-3 concerts yearly. Concerts is arranged in churches, in theatre and outdoors, and also in cooperation with external guest artists and a local female choir.The repertoire spreads from modern pop and rock until sacral music, and the choir sings both acapella and together with music band. During the Covid pandemic we produced some videos based on well-known songs and one of this - “You never walk alone” - are seen by nearly 1 million You tube users. A strategy for the choir is to participate in an international competition in 2023, and our first participation will be in Bratislava in April 2023.
