Adult Choir
residing in 7200
Grindsted, Denmark. The Choir
has existed for about 30 years – most of the time as part of
Grindsted Music School. During that time the choir’s administrational
abreviation turned into the choirs’ name VOK. Eventually in the summer 2008 the
choir changes to a more private-like position. During that change we changed our
name as well to
VOKALIAS
As standard
we are a 4 part mixed choir – soprano, alto, tenor and bass. Occasionally there
can be more or less parts. We are not fixed to one or few genres – we feel good
working with all kinds of good music – church music as well as secular – old as
well as new music – art music as well as pop – rhythmical as well as classical.
And we do like to interact with an audience rather than performing on a distant
stage with some few family members at the end of some empty rows of chairs. For the
time being we are about 55 members in the choir, aged between 19 and 80 with an
average about 52 years. But a lively bunch of people. During the
season we focus at some 4 – 10 concerts – some local and some further away
either in Denmark or in other countries. Some years back the choir has been to
Germany, Norway and Sweden. During it’s “new life” we have visited Germany (Flensburg,
Glückburg) in 2009, and are now planning a 4 day concert-trip to the Netherlands
in May 2010 with concerts in Zaanse Schans, Alkmaar and Haarlem. In 2011 we are
going to Germany again. From
september 2008 the conductor has been Stig Løppenthin Møller, which is like a
“coming-back”, as in fact he founded the choir some 30 years ago and conducted
it for about 8 years. At the weekly
choir rehearsals every wednesday night we enjoy as well our pianist Karina
Holgersen who is a very popular and very busy local musician.
