Linda Kristengård is a Norwegian singer, choir leader, and vocal coach with over 20 years of experience in leading vocal ensembles. She holds a Master's degree in Innovative Choir Leading from the Royal Academy of Music in Aalborg, as well as a Master's degree in Musicology with a focus on vocal improvisation.
Her work combines high artistic ambition with a strong focus on musical communication, improvisation, and ensemble development. She draws on a broad methodological toolbox, including elements of Vocal Painting, and is committed to creating inclusive and inspiring spaces where singers feel safe to explore, grow, and reach new artistic heights—both individually and collectively.
Linda has collaborated with a wide range of artists across genres and is regularly engaged as a workshop leader in Norway and internationally. From 2022 to 2025, she was based in Aarhus, Denmark, where she worked with several choirs, including the gospel choir Joyful Voices. She also serves on the board of the Aarhus Vocal Festival.
She is currently based in Oslo, where she combines her role as Assistant Professor at NLA University College—leading the choir leading programme—with an active artistic practice. She is also the conductor of Den Norske Homofonien av 1900.
