Biography
Sølvguttene, a boys' choir from Norway, was founded in June 1940 by Torstein Gryte. Initially rehearsing at Gryte's home in Oslo, the choir later moved to facilities provided by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). Their first radio performance took place in December 1940. Despite challenges during World War II, Sølvguttene continued under Gryteâs direction. In 1970, they won their category at the BBC's "Let the People Sing" competition. The choir is known for its clear sound and has performed extensively across Norway and internationally, including appearances at the Lillehammer Olympics in 1994 and Westminster Abbey in 1996. Notable albums include Synger julen inn (2001) and Julemesse Missa In Nativitate Domini (2006). The choir's repertoire spans traditional Norwegian folk music to classical masterpieces and contemporary music, including works by Knut Nystedt and Kjell Mørk Karlsen. Sølvguttene continues to be a cultural institution in Norway, with Fredrik Otterstad becoming choir master in 2004.
