Conductor and singer

The prize is given to conductors, choirs, composers or others who in a particular way have promoted and developed Norwegian choir music at a nationalor international level. This years award ceremony took place at a crowded Grieghallen in Bergen, during the closing concert for the Grieg International Choir Festival.
The jury says, among other things: "The Korprisen 2007 is awarded to a choir and a conductor who has in a particularly way documented the very best of Norwegian choir litterature and contributed in making the works familiar both in Norway and abroad. The CD-recording Immortal Nystedt has been acclaimed internationally, and the nomination for two Grammy awards is an honour few creative artists recieve."

At the concert "PLAY - A Video game symphony" 26th of October 2007 at Norges Varemesse in Lillestrøm Øystein Fevang sings "One" by Metallica with Norwegian Radio Orchestra. Some guy filmed it with his mobil phone, of course, and put it out on You Tube. You can watch it here...
