Petri S\u00e5ngare is a chamber choir from St. Petri Church in Malm\u00f6, Sweden. The ensemble boasts a wide-ranging repertoire with a focus on contemporary Western classical music. Petri S\u00e5ngare\u2019s primary genre is a capella music, but the choir regularly teams up with leading musicians of the Malm\u00f6 region to perform 18th and 19th century standard works.<\/p>\n
Ever since its founding in 2010, Petri S\u00e5ngare has upheld a high standard and ambition level, performing around 25 concerts per season. This requires major commitment from the choir members who are for the most part amateurs. Both rehearsals and concerts are characterised by great attention to diction, musicality, and musical teamwork between choir and director. Petri S\u00e5ngare has enjoyed a great deal of success in its short lifetime, winning first prize at the Cracovia Cantans International Choir Festival in Krakow (2014) and second prize at the Choir Grand Prix in Tours (2015). Petri S\u00e5ngare was the only Swedish choir to take part in the World Choir Games in South Africa (2018), and was awarded gold medals in the categories Musica Sacra a cappella and Musica Contemporanea.<\/p>\n
Petri S\u00e5ngare has also attracted the attention of national media, and has performed several times on the primary Swedish television networks SVT and TV4. These merits include the opening ceremony of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2013. Petri S\u00e5ngare has also performed live on several occasions on both Swedish and Danish radio.
