V.O.I.C.E – Pop Plus
V.O.I.C.E POP PLUS Course
For all our members who “want more”…
- You are singing in the POP Choir or POP International Choir and you are still looking for a little bit more input in a smaller group?
- You want to develop yourself faster in singing and music and try out what it’s like to work artistically on a professional level?
- Are you looking for the challenge in more demanding arrangements and are you willing to study them yourself and then work on them at an advanced level according to the motto “dig deeper”?
Then this additional module is perfect for you!
During the rehearsals and concerts, we take care to comply with all safety measures concerning the corona virus.
In the summer semester 2021, we have the following activities planned:
- Professional recording project and music video in April
- A new, innovative concept to make both physical and virtual rehearsals fun
- V.O.I.C.E summer concert on the 11th June 2021 in the Anker Saal – Should the concert not take place due to the corona virus, we will carry out an alternative project (e.g. flash mob or recording project/music video)
- The repertoire is a colorful mix of summer pop hits.
