 |
| The choir
currently consists of about 40 singers, coming from
different countries, which simplifies the learning of
songs in the original language! We are of all ages, and simply enjoy singing together. |
| Our rehearsals
take place once a week, except during school holidays. There is a relaxed, friendly atmosphere; nevertheless, a great deal of emphasis is placed on musical and interpretive content. |
| We give one
or two major concerts every year. Most of the
performances are made up of musicians who accompany us
which enriches the program. |
| Every year
we take a weekend choir trip, where intensive
rehearsals take place, but where there is also time to
explore the surroundings, to talk to each other, etc. In recent years we have been to Blossin, southeast of Berlin. |
| A summer festival
and a long rehearsal Saturday is one of
the extras carried out annually. |
| The members
have taken over the organization of the choir
themselves since summer 2018. Members take care of the
different areas of choral life, partly alternately, by
mutual agreement. |

history |
|
| 1998
a choran of the Volkshochschule Steglitz was created, and
conducted by Martha Carrizo Raphelt, an Argentine former
opera singer who retired in 2008. Special events included:
"Missa Criolla" by Ariel Ramirez was performed repeatedly by the choir, among others in Berlins famous Memorial Church. |
|
| In the spring
of 2009 Sady Augsburger took over the direction of
the International Choir and the few "old"
members rejoined and progressed with a new orientation;
the choir now deals with a vast repertoire of songs from
many different countries. Singing is performed exclusively in the original language. |
