A Cappellissimo
Grete Daling
Grete Daling holds a master degree in music and graduated with the voice as her main instrument from the Department of Music at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim, Norway. She also completed a three year course at the Complete Vocal Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is thus an authorized teacher of Complete Vocal Technique. In addition to conducting A Cappellissimo, Grete is a lecturer at the Nord University and is an active singer, vocal coach, and conductor. She is extremely dedicated as both a teacher and musician and is frequently engaged in new projects involving coaching or musical performances.
A Cappellissimo is a chamber choir of 25-30 singers based in Trondheim, Norway. The choir was established in 1996 and originated from student choirs at the university. The singers in A Cappellissimo greatly benefit from conductor Grete Daling’s vocal coaching skills and never-ending enthusiasm and energy. A Cappellissimo likes the challenge of working with different genres ranging from classical sacred music to ethnical music like Sami joik and folk songs of the Balkans. The choir mainly performs a cappella music but regularly collaborates with various musical ensembles and solo artists.
