  Benjamin Isachsen Boy Soprano Soloist 
Print Friendly Page 
Benjamin Isachsen As a member of the Oslo Cathedral Boys Choir over a period of ten years, Benjamin has participated in regular rehearsals and worship service performances, acquiring a rich musical vocabulary which has challenged and enriched his thinking, faith, and emotions.

During the summer of 2007 Benjamin was selected to sing with Salisbury Cathedral Boys Choir. He attended the cathedral boarding school and sang with the choir at daily evensong, morning service, and matins. He was also able to participate in the annual Southern Cathedrals Festival and in recording sessions.

Benjamin has performed many times as soloist. He has sung "Ein gut" ("A Boy") in "Draumkvedet" ("Dream Ballad") with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra and Grex Vocalis. He has been soloist with The Norwegian Soloist Choir and The Norwegian Chamber Orchestra. He has performed "Fedrelandssalmen," the national hymn of Norway, at the celebration of King Harald's 70th birthday, and Felix Mendelsohn's "Hear My Prayer" with Katarina Gosskör (the Katarina Boys Choir) in Oslo. He has sung Allegri's "Miserere" in evensong with the Oslo Cathedral Choir and Gregorian chant in concert with Consortium Vocale and Trio Mediævel. He has also been soloist on two CDs of the Oslo Cathedral Boys Choir and in the Oslo Cathedral's annual Christmas concerts.

Benjamin has performed larger works at funerals, weddings, christenings, and as soloist in the Oslo Concert Hall, as well as on a number of radio programs and the television talk show "Grosvold" on NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation). His voice can also be heard in select scenes of the Norwegian horror films "Fritt vilt" I and II ("Cold Prey").

As a small boy Benjamin said that he "wanted to sing to make others happy." And precisely that is what he hopes to achieve with his recording: To share with others the joy which singing and music have brought to him.
