VOS
is a mixed chamber choir based in Lund and Malmö in Sweden. The choir was founded in 2015 (as Malmö Live Vokalensemble), but became VOS after a name change in 2017. Since 2018 VOS is partly based in Lund Cathedral where the choir’s previous conductor and artistic director, Robert Bennesh, was director of music.

Robert Bennesh
(b. 1986) is a Swedish choral conductor and organist, previously director of music at Lund Cathedral 2016-2024 and currently organist/choir master at Uppsala Cathedral, the national cathedral of Sweden. During Robert’s tenure in Lund he developed a wide-ranging choral program for all ages, of which VOS was the advanced vocal ensemble. VOS and Robert had a focus on performing contemporary music, not at least during the 900th anniversary of Lund Cathedral in 2023 when the ensemble was a crucial part of the collaboration with composer Stefan Klaverdal resulting in the oratorio “At the gate”. Bennesh earned degrees in church music and organ performance from Malmö Academy of Music, the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen and Yale University, USA.
