Participating Choirs

Defrost Youth Choir

Hamar, Norway

Conductor Thomas Caplin

Defrost Youth Choir operates in the age segment between children, adolescents and
young adults. This is also evident in our recruitment processes, finding young talents from secondary school, high school and university. In this respect Defrost is rather unique in Norway, being able to mix different ages and gender spanning from 13 to 25, and where these young people meet in the wish to develop as a conscientious human being, understanding how they themselves can contribute in changing society by the force of fundamental values like respect, tolerance, loyalty, solidarity and integrity. We believe these are values that need to become visible and audible in empowering work with music. Music therefore becomes secondary to human development. From this emerges harmony between people, creating harmony in music and the choir’s expression, something video recording from our many concerts/tours nationally and internationally expose. It is also this very special expression that has led to Defrost today being a sought after choir, both for its powerful concert performances, but also for the many given workshops, with focus on demonstrating the all-including work methods the choir works after, where each member represent a value of creativity, experience and knowledge – tacit or outspoken. We believe it’s important for our society to have choirs like Defrost, in order to empower young people with self-confidence and human understanding, but also to show that it is quite alright to sing professionally as a young person, as a counter
weight to sports.
