Members of Kling Kokos and the public are invited to participate in this research project on choral singing and choral concert attending.
The MusicLab mini concert will feature excerpts of Kling Koko's repertoire and panel on the science of choral singing. Participants from the choir will be wearing sensor vests to capture motion, breathing, and heart rate through the preceeding rehearsal and the performance. Participants in the audience are invited to also wear sensors, as we have used in previous MusicLabs, with fittings starting at 14:30.
The rehearsal and mini-concert will be recorded and studied with the aim of deepening our understanding of how choral singing engages the bodies of those performing and affects those listening. All participants will be offered records of their own measurements, numerical or visualised. The physiological recordings will be anonymised and included in a depersonalised dataset that will be published openly for music science research.

MusicLab is a collaborative science-concert series between the RITMO Centre and the UiO Libraries. The mini-concert will feature a short program of singing material familiar to the choir in different configurations followed by a short discussion about the science of choral singing. Audience members will also be invited to wear sensor vests following previous MusicLab events, including the Listening Bodies concerts and MusicLab Sinsenfist.
