Airo is a modern and ambitious Aarhus-based choir practicing and performing through a combination of arranged choral music and improvisation through Vocal Painting. The choir presents concerts which introduce experimental layers and a wide emotional range to a Nordic tonal quality. Airo consists of 36 singers, evenly divided between women and men aged 20–35, whose balanced vocals create depth, energy and a strong physical presence for the audience.
Airo’s artistic practice combines tradition and innovation, with a focus on developing its sound through improvisation and collective exploration. Driven by a strong sense of community, the choir is constantly developing and seeking opportunities to contribute to an artistic environment where Nordic expression meets the rhythmic choral tradition, creating space for emotion, atmosphere, and resonance.
Airo is conducted by its founder Margrethe Debel
