In response to popular demand, we have now published the regulations for the competitions conducted by BinG! We have also begun to make available the results of our past quartet and chorus competitions - both nationally and internationally. The collection here will of course be contually expanded.
What a breathtaking evening: On January 8, the EKBC was finally able to once again thrill the audience in the sold-out Senftöpfchen! With old and new pieces and two guest quartets, the "boys" offered a varied program ranging from the greatest ambition to hullabaloo - just like the chorus has been known and appreciated for decades.
EKBC's search for a new musical director ended with considerable success. Matthias Neuburger, long-time and now outgoing director says: "I am enormously pleased that the chorus has chosen Andrea Figallo as my successor."
Grunts come from the rehearsal room. A crow "answers" from outside. Truly unusual sounds produced by EKBC singers and singer friends. But it's all in good fun: Kerstin Greaves, singer, coach and certified CVT trainer, asked to try out sound effects like have been systematically described in the "Complete Vocal Technique".
We are the "Erster Kölner Barbershop Chor" and have also successfully participated in the casting of the Best Choir in the West. Nevertheless we are not looking for the first best!
We like to spice up our performances with the Cologne way of life and a lot of humor. Nevertheless, we are seriously searching!
The BinG! quartett "Klangsurfer" will sing January 29th 2022 (subject to the pandemic) at the Zurich ACAPELLA NIGHT, Volkshaus Zürich (Weißer Saal).
Come over or tell your Swiss friends and relatives!
