Schola Cantorum is the student chamber choir of Uppsala Cathedral. It is a mixed choir of about 25 singers between the ages of 18 and 30, most of them students at Uppsala University. The choir was founded in 1972 by Lars Angerdal, and has ever since played an important role in the choir scene of Uppsala. Since 2009 Milke Falck has been conducting the choir. He is also an assistant organist at the cathedral and conductor of the Uppsala Cathedral Choir. He received his education at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and is an experienced choirmaster.

Our repertoire consists mainly of classical church music. At times the choir also performs modern pieces as well as profane Swedish traditionals. On several occasions each semester the choir sings during High Mass at the cathedral and hosts their own, much appreciated concerts. The choir is often accompanied by Andrew Canning playing the organ.

In addition to this, the choir has a vast range of social activities, including “choir” weekends devoted to rehearsing and getting to know one another, choir parties, tours and travels.
