2012

 

Season starts up on January 16, where we will appreciate new singers who want to find out if acquaintance with classical music and a group of well-mooded singers appeals to them, before finally joining the choir.

 

This will be developed on an external choir weekend in the autumn.

 

2011

 

The choir had 3 concert performances in Berlin in August. One concentrated on sacral and two with secular repertoire. The choir was granted a special gift after the conclusion of the concert given in the cultural center at Antonplatz: A picture composed by a local artist with various houses and the choir. Moreover we sang at the city hall in Schoeneberg, where president Kennedy declared: "Ich bin ein Berliner". Something new was introduced: a text booklet with the Danish and Latin texts plus a parallel German translation, some of them made by a little group of choir members.

 

We continued the German line: November gave 3 performances of Brahms' A GERMAN REQUIEM, a project supervised by the Birkerød Choir and their conductor Torben Svendsen, accompanied by the Copenhagen Youth Symphony Orchestra. Solo parts were performed by soprano Aileen Bramhall Itani and baritone Andreas Lundin.

 

Friday, December 2 the choir was incorporated in one of the usual Friday Night Vesper arrangements in the Church of the Holy Spirit in Copenhagen. We performed Danish versions of Silent night and Lobe den Herren. In addition two lesser known works: Gammel julesang (Olde Christmas Carol) by Danish Peter Erasmus Lange-Müller and Ave Maria by Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger from Liechtenstein. Every hour has its specific topic, so the church-goers could experience many kinds of music.

 

Sunday, December 4 at Hundige Church. Together with Kildebrønde Girls' Choir and the children's choir we took part in the traditional Festival of 9 Lessons and Carols. Henrik Colding-Jørgensen, the organist, had made an arrangement where the choirs intertwine and sing with the congregation.

 

Tuesday, December 20 in Hans Egede's Church, Østerbro in Copenhagen, we had a well-visited good hour of Christmas concerto, only with the choir and Nadja Aristoff on organ. In a few songs we involved the congregation.
