Kongsberg Blandede Kor

We are a well-blended, happy bunch of ladies and men who like to sing. And we welcome more singers. Kongsberg Mixed Choir was founded in 1928 under the name Kongsberg Arbeiderkor. During the War of 1941, all academic / political activity was banned and not to risk the choir also had to close, the name was changed to Kongsberg Mixed Chorus. Until 1989, the choir affiliated Norwegian Labor Songs Association, but from 1 January 1991 is the choir as a member of the Norwegian Choir Association.

Kongsberg Mixed Chorus is therefore an open choir without special connection, either political or philosophical.

Although the choir has now celebrated 80-year anniversary, the choir is simply no pensjonistkor. The members are from 20 years and over 80, with the majority between 30 and 50 years. There has been a steady flow of new members, and there are currently more than 60 active singers. There is good distribution of all voting groups.
