WHAT YOU MAY RISK…
The "Hundigekoret" (Hundige Choir) in its
present form dates from 1995, where a reorganization took place. At present
there are about 35 members.
The repertoire is mainly classical and romantic music,
and church music is playing a major role. We are especially working with sound
and pronunciation.
The weekly choir rehearsal takes place on Mondays from
7-9.30 p.m. in Hundige Church, Eriksmindevej 20 in Greve south of Copenhagen.
We take regular part in concert performances in Hundige and Kildebronde
Churches along with the other church choirs. Choir members are entitled to join
national choral concerts arranged by the Danish choral association Kor72.
We are an amateur choir and pay a fee in order to
become members.
LEISURE TIME
Likewise international travels are paid by the
individual members, so we cannot afford to go abroad every year. On the other
hand we appreciate the social dimension, shopping, and the common joy by
presenting a good programme is important to us. Therefore: We do want
communications with foreign choirs. Considering the social benefits from the
travels we should like to be acquainted with other choirs. Maybe we can
exchange and mix for concerts in Denmark and abroad and widen our musical
knowledge?
2008
Our 2008 travel went to Poland. There were concerts in
the two towns Wroclaw and Krakow. The Consonanza choir assisted us in arranging
them.

in Wroclaw.

Some members of the choir left their travel souvenirs in
Danish on facebook.com. Even if you are unable to read Danish, you may enjoy
photos and videos. Use the search term: hundige koret.
2005
The
summer of 2005 was spent in the Czech Republic. In Prague we had a joint
concert together with the splendid local Laetitia choir in St. Ludmila Church. The travel ended in Liberec in Bohemia.
The town welcomed us in every respect apart from the weather. Fortunately, both
the weather, the people and the concert performance were good when we
performed in Oblastni Galeri in Liberec, so the concert was an open air
performance. Just look at the concert picture.

Laetitia contacted us later en route to other
concerts, and we arranged their performance in a Copenhagen art museum.
2002
The Hundige Choir united with the Ringsted Choir (from
the mid_Zealand town Ringsted). Under the joint name "Zealand Concert
Choir" both choirs were active participants in the international choir
Eisteddfod (festival) in Llangollen in Wales in 2002 - being the only selected
Danish choir. The conductors were Martin Granau and Anne Marie Christensen.
