About Us

Oslo Global Choir (OGC) is a vibrant international choir based in the heart of Oslo, bringing together voices, cultures and musical traditions from around the world.

Founded in 2013, originally as Cafeteatret World Choir; OGC has grown into a diverse musical community united by a shared passion for singing, performance and connection.
OGC presents an eclectic repertoire at lively concerts which reflects the international character of our choir, spanning pop, rock, chanson française, Norwegian and Sámi music, as well as songs and musical traditions from across the world. Through our performances, we aim to create memorable musical expereinces that celebrates diversity and the power of voices coming together.

OGC is providing opportunities ranging from vocal training to forming spin-off musical groups. Over the years, OGC also collaborates with talented and accomplished musicians and artists from Norway and around the world to create musical; educational and adventurous experiences for our members and audiences. Membership of the choir is open to those who are committed to learning how to sing regardless of experience.

After many wonderful years at Nordic Black Theatre, an amazing location with great accoustics which we recommend you check out the wonderful Nordic Black Theatre for their events, Sentralen is now our rehearsal home located in the heart of Oslo, where we come every Monday to rehearse, develop our repertoire and prepare for upcoming performances.

More than a choir, OGC is a meeting place for people and cultures, connected through MUSIC.
ALL voices. All Cultures. One CHOIR.
