Akademisk Kor Århus is a profesionally working amateur choir, which consist of approximately 35 young singers. A lot of the singers are associated with the musical life at and around the University of Aarhus and the Royal Danish Academy of Music. The choir was founded in 1985 and Jonas Rasmussen is the choirs conductor.
Contemporary Danish and Scandinavian choral music are common themes in the repertoire, but a broad variety of genres are simultaneously treated, from the strict polyphonic music of the Renaissance through the intense emotionality of the 19th century music to first performances of works by Danish composers. Apart from working with an expressive and homogeneous sound, Academic Choir of Aarhus is conscious of its obligation to communicate the joy and delight engendered by music as an integral part of the listening experience.
