The Nordic Student Singers’ Summit (NSSS) is a major choir festival that gathers Nordic and Baltic student choirs. Together they spend four days singing, performing, networking and having fun together.
Due to the pandemic, the summit has been postponed twice, but now it is back - in tune with LiU's 50th anniversary. The summit is arranged by the LiU choirs Linköping University Male Voice Choir, Linnea (Linköping University Women’s Choir), LiHtösen, Chorus Lin, Linköping indie choir and SKÖN.
“This will be part of the choirs’ celebration of LiU. What better way to celebrate Sweden’s most choir-friendly university, than to invite the Nordic and Baltic student singers and show the best of Liu?” says August Goldhahn, executive chair of Linköping University Male Voice Choir.
The purpose of NSSS is to gather Nordic and Baltic academic choirs to forge friendships and have fun together with high-quality music. NSSS is held every third year and is organised by student choirs at different universities.
Singing all over Linkoping
This year is the third time since the tradition was resurrected that Linköping will take part in this festival of singing.“There will be choir concerts around Linköping, rehearsals and an opening concert and performance in the city centre. And a gala concert and a gala dinner to finish,” says August Goldhahn.
“Everyone is welcome to attend next spring and hear 1500 people sing opera chorus together. It’s very grand! I can also reveal that 1500 students singing eight-part harmony drinking songs at dinner is absolutely magical,” concludes August Goldhahn.
