Choir³: A Trio Of Various Voices

Just a quick heads up to say that the programme for Various Voices 2009 is up and available on the website. This will give delegates a chance to see what shows are coming up and plan their long weekend accordingly. Bookings aren't open yet but will go live very soon, and you'll get a discount too.

Another word of wisdom: some of the Choir³ concerts (this is what most people come to see, three different choirs performing their showcase repertoires) will be sold out really quickly, and it would be a good idea to get in on the tickets as early as possible. Some of the highlights which I am looking forward to, based on a cursory glance of the programme.

Saturday 2nd May

  • Choir³ D: Cor Cantus from Copenhagen, A Cappella Birmingham from Birmingham and Le Zbor from Zagreb
  • Choir³ F: Classical Lesbians from Berlin, Vox Homana from Hannover and Schwubs from Bern
  • Choir³ G: Hellmans Drengar from Goteborg in Sweden, SCHMAZ from Zürich and Canta:re from Berlin
Sunday 3rd May
  • Choir³ O: Philhomoniker from Munich, TAPALANOTE - chorale du BGS (Brussels Gay Sports) and Mélo'Men from Paris
  • Choir³ P: Männer-Minne from Berlin, Warme Wellen from Aachen and Mannenkoorts Den Haag

And of course, I expect everyone to be at the ultimate trio of them all: Voices of Our City starring none other than the LGMC, Diversity and the Pink Singers. We're on twice on the Friday 1st May, so there is a time to suit everyone. I can't wait!
