Applications for auditions of the spring semester 2025 are open!

Sing with Kongl. Teknologkören!

Do you love to sing in a choir? Do you want to develop your music skills, and at the same time get more out of student activities?

Then you have come to the right place! With Kongl. Teknologkören you get the best of both worlds: classic choir with high ambitions and an exciting student life with a community that unites students from all over KTH.

We rehearse on Thursdays from 18:30 to 21:30 at KTH Campus Valhallavägen. Since 2022 Kongl. Teknologkören has been led by our conductor, Hanna Ohlson Nordh, who recently won the prize for best conductor at a choir competition in Austria.

Go to our YouTube channel to hear what we sound like!

What to expect at the audition

At the audition you will meet our conductor, Hanna Ohlson Nordh, and four choir members. The audition will take around 10-15 minutes, starting with a short warm up, followed by the Swedish song Uti vår hage which you will sing together with three members of the choir. After Uti vår hage you will sing a solo piece (either Sommarpsalm or Kristallen den fina), and if there is time left there will also be a few pitch and sight reading exercises. The sheet music to all songs will be sent to you after you have applied.

What should I prepare?

• Your part to Uti vår hage which you will perform in a quartet together with three current members of the choir who sing the remaining three parts. You may practice your part at home, but it is not expected of you to know the piece by heart. We will provide you with a physical copy of the sheet music at the audition.

• One of the following solo pieces: Sommarpsalm (En vänlig grönska) or Kristallen den fina. Choose the song that you feel the most comfortable singing. You are expected to learn the melody to the first verse of the song in a key of your choice, so choose a key that fits your voice. During the audition you will sing the first verse of the song, without accompaniment. We will provide you with a physical copy of the sheet music at the audition.

Applying for auditions

In Teknologkören you are expected to have prior choir experience, or at least be able to hold your part when singing with others, as well as an ability to read sheet music. You should also have enough time to commit to the choir and to attend rehearsals, concerts and other performances. If this applies to you, you are very welcome to apply for an audition.

New members are admitted at the start of each semester, and you apply through a form published on this page. You can find the dates for the audition and deadline for the application in the form. If we have not yet published the form, you can express your interest in auditioning to audition@teknologkoren.se, we will then notify you when the form is published. You can also send any questions you might have to that address.

After applying you will get a confirmation e-mail, and roughly a week before the audition we will send you an e-mail containing the sheet music and additional information regarding the audition. Make sure to check your junk box in case you cannot find it in your inbox. A few days before the audition you will be sent an e-mail with your allotted time. Please reply to confirm your participation, otherwise your allotted time will go to someone else.

Applicants not studying at KTH are very welcome, but how many we can admit depends on the number of vacant positions for members outside KTH.
