The world-class, 80-member Swedish men's chorus, Orphei Drängar, has an illustrious history since 1853 and was conducted by Eric Ericson for 40 years. Robert Sund was artistic director of the chorus and led them on several USA tours.
Cecilia Rydinger Alin has conducted the chorus since 2008, but Robert Sund will return to America in March to conduct a diverse program of repertory which runs the gamut, with the great romantic choral gems, folksongs as well as contemporary composition. The program will also feature noted Swedish mezzo-soprano Katija Dragojevics.
