Stockholms Musikgymnasium Youth Choir

The different choirs of Stockholms Musikgymnasium (Upper Secondary School of Music) play a prominent part in the musical life of Stockholm, Sweden, and are involved in projects with production companies, “Rikskonserter” and the Swedish Radio. International contacts have resulted in concert tours to among other places, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Finland, Estonia, China and South Africa. Starting in 1959, the Stockholms Musikgymnasium was an integrated part of the music classes of the Adolf Fredrik School, but is now, since 1984, located in the beautifully renovated jugend style school of 1902 at Kungsholmen in Stockholm. The school offers modified Natural and Social Science programmes that include advanced choral courses. Admission is highly competitive and accepts students based on a combination of grade point average, singing auditions and tests in music theory.

This choir group started their education in August 2022 and consists of one Social Science class. They have choral singing together four times a week and graduate in June 2025. Ms.Maria Goundorina, Ms. Helene Stureborg and Mr.Bengt Ollén  have been their vocal coaches and conductors, and they have performed in several concerts together during their years at the Stockholms Musikgymnasium.  This choir group was invited by the Swedish Embassies in both Finland and Lithuania celebrating Swedish events abroad. On their repertoire they have several works a cappella by both old and contemporary composers.

Maria Goundorina  started to teach choral singing at the Stockholms Musikgymnasium 2023.
