About
Odins Ravner was established 1993 in Oslo, Norway. The first conductor was Ola Sætre, and the choir has been lead by several conductors since: Sven Arne Lindemark, Maria Haug, and the current Bjørn Hegstad. However the most influential leader of the choir remains Svein Arne Lindemark, as he is the arranger behind most of the choir's repertoire. The choir has a wide and entertaining repertoire with pop music, swing jazz and musicals, particularly older "vintage" songs from 1920 to 1970. The repertoire contains also folk music and some songs and hymns with national or sacred character. The choir rehearses once a week in Oslo University College. They regularly attend and organize festivals, choir gatherings, concerts and preforms on various occasions in the country and abroad: Estonia, Scotland, Poland, Ireland, and England. Odins Ravner is a member of Norwegian Singers Forum.
