Choir conductor wanted for MissHarmony in Erkrath
May we introduce ourselves?
Wait a minute - didn't EKBC already celebrate its 30th birthday in 2017?
That's right. But when a founding member reaches his 80th birthday, that's also a reason to celebrate. Instead of handshakes and hugs, there were "only" personal wishes, poems and video greetings from many long-time friends during a Zoom session, but even these were heartfelt pleasures for the celebratee. Because Rudi Kalka is still actively involved as a bass singer, the preparations for a birthday serenade had to be done in secret. But the joy was all the greater when the Polecat song with individual lyrics could then be performed - assembled from 37 individual recordings of almost all current chorus members.
With this release we wish the jubilarian once again all the best: Gratulacje, drogi Rudi!
