UPPSALA DOMKYRKAS GOSSKÖR är Sveriges äldsta gosskör. Den startade 1920 på initiativ av dåvarande ärkebiskopen och senare fredspristagaren Nathan Söderblom. Kören sjunger främst vid konserter, gudstjänster, vigningar och andra högtider i Uppsala domkyrka.

Kören turnerar också i Sverige, Europa och USA, dit gosskören bjöds in för att sjunga på konventet American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) 2010.

Gosskören har bland mycket annat medverkat vid ärkebiskopens nationella möte om barn och unga, och Luciamorgon i SVT 2012, som spelades in i domkyrkan tillsammans med Uppsala domkyrkas flickkör. Hösten 2013 stod gosskören tillsammans med flickkören värd för den internationella körfesten Young Cathedral Voices 2013.

Ärkebiskop emeritus Anders Wejryd är gosskörens beskyddare.

Den 19 Juni kl 19:00 bjuder Uppsala Domkyrkas Gosskör tillsammans med Svenska kyrkan in till en sommarkonsert i St. Brigitta, Brigittaplatz, 1200 Wien

Det blir ett program som spänner från klassisk svensk musik, traditionella folkvisor men också en del nyskrivet.

How Veteli Boys’ Choir Was Established

When Simo Kangas was a little boy, the cantor of Veteli’s congregation often gathered a group of children to sing with actual church choir. Simo Kangas had the chance to sing in that choir and to go on concert tours with them, which were all wonderful experiences. And as grew older, Simo Kangas wanted to give the same chance to those younger children. He remember, how he had many times admired the performances of famous boys’ choirs like Cantores Minores and Wiener Sängerknaben. He loved the beautiful and fresh sound of a boys’ choir and for a long time he had a dream of establishing one in Veteli. In the spring of 1985 that dream came through.
