DiploChoir

Thursdays from 15:00 to 16:15 (starting 4 September)  

​

A welcoming, English-speaking choir for the spouses and partners of ambassadors, consuls, and other members of Oslo’s diplomatic community. Whether you're new to singing or have sung for years, DiploChoir offers a joyful way to connect, unwind, and explore music from around the world in a warm, international environment.

​

We rehearse weekly during the day, focusing on posture, harmony, diction, and healthy vocal technique — all in a relaxed, encouraging atmosphere. No experience needed — just curiosity and a love of music.

​

🎶 Meet new people, share your voice, and build something beautiful together!

​

​ In each session, we will:

• Sing uplifting songs and accessible choral arrangements in English (and other languages!).

• Strengthen your voice and musical confidence at a gentle pace.

• Connect with a vibrant international community of fellow diplomatic spouses.

• Share laughter, stories, and a weekly dose of harmony and coffee.​

Whether you’re new to singing or just miss being part of something musical, DiploChoir offers a refreshing break from your routine — and a chance to make lasting friendships.
