"Into the future" this poignantly ends, a song of such love and hope, beautifully performed under the best choral director Norway has, Grete Pedersen.

Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching, Stan!

#TheNorwegiansoloistschoir Very smart and talented young folks. Makes my I.Q. burst into tears of Joy and beauty ( L.O.L.! )

BRAVO : j'adore ces 5 Rechants d'Olivier Messiaen

[@usefulandkindunlimited2678]

Superb performance of wonderful work too rarely performed - I guess due to its difficulty, which like most things the NSC (and its academy does) appears effortless! Huge thanks loved it

[@thenorwegiansoloistschoir]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We'll pass this forward to the singers in Solistkoret Ung.

#TheNorwegiansoloistschoir Sung it at Abbaye de Royaumont summer 2021 but not in such an interesting choreography !!!!

[@cliveso]

Flawless singing, but really not a fan of the choreography and the little glances!
