The Joyful Singers: About us - Contact - Imprint

Zurück zur deutschen Version.
What we are doing
  Audio samples you may find here.  
The Joyful Singers are a 5-voiced choir, founded in 2000 in Berlin/Germany.
The some 25 singers, mostly non professional vocalists, meet once a week for rehearsal.
We do mainly Gospel music - not only because of its stirring expressivity, but also due to its deep roots in the everyday life and religion of the poor people.
Moreover the repertoire includes songs from Latin America or Europe, and recently we also added compositions of our own. Some of the members play an instrument which can be heared in concert as well.
The rehearsals take place regularly on Thursday evenings in the 'Prenzlauer Berg' district. We typically give concerts once a month (both on Saturday and Sunday). In the summertime we use to organize a one-week concert journey.
Detailed info for newcomers is provided here! (Sorry, so far in German language only!)

Facts & Numbers
The Joyful Singers do exist since 2000.
Traditionally our concerts are arranged in churches and are attended by about 150 to 400 listeners. All organisational and public promotional work is our own duty, as well is the design of concert posters and CD's.
In average we appear in twelve concerts (and with but few songs in two church services) per year, distributed over eight weekends. Half of these performances take place in Berlin, a quarter in its near or farer vicinity, another quarter during a concert tour in the summer.
We normally decline to sing at company events or weddings.
