Kvindelige Studenters Sangforening (KSS) – The Women’s Choral Society of the University of Oslo – was founded in 1895 and is the official female choir of the University of Oslo, Norway. Despite the advanced age, KSS is a young choir consisting of approximately 50 singers. As the world’s oldest academic female choir, KSS has played an important part in relation to the University and the women’s cause. KSS has been central in the lives of hundreds of choir-sisters who have been a part of this great musical community throughout the years.
