Zing mee

Ben jij jong, bevlogen, en in voor een muzikale uitdaging? Dan is het VU-Kamerkoor wellicht het koor voor jou. Iedere dinsdagavond van 19.45 tot 22.15 uur repeteren wij op hoog niveau onder leiding van onze vaste dirigent Krista Audere.

Het VUKK bestaat uit een kern van vaste leden, die in beginsel elk project meezingen, en projectleden voor een specifiek project. Je auditeert voor een plek als projectlid. Heb je interesse om vast mee te blijven zingen, én is daarvoor een vacature, dan vindt er een evaluatiemoment tijdens het project plaats waarop de dirigent een beslissing neemt.

Are you young, enthusiastic, and up for a musical challenge? Then the VU-Kamerkoor might be the choir for you. Every Tuesday evening from 19.45 to 22.15, we rehearse at a high level under the direction of our permanent conductor Krista Audere.

The VUKK consists of a group of permanent members, who join each project, and project members joining for one specific project. Initially, you always audition as a project member for a single project. If you are interested in staying on as a permanent member, and there is a vacancy, our conductor will decide during that project.

We are currently looking for tenors and altos, for our two upcoming programs: Szymanowski’s – Stabat Mater with the VU Chamber Orchestra, and an cappella programme about War and Peace featuring a newly commissioned work by Mathilde Wantenaar! We’ll also perform Part’s Da Pacem Domine, and Schoenberg’s Friede auf Erden.

Are you a tenor or alto, and would you like to join us for either or both of these projects? Auditions take place on Tuesdays 9 and 16 june, at our regular rehearsal space: the VU.NU building in Amsterdam, between 18:00 and 19:30.

Interested? Let us know at audities@vukk.nl. Please include your voice type, previous choral and singing experience, whether you are auditioning for either or both projects, and whether you are available on all the required dates (see sidebar), and which audition date you prefer.
