Your financial contributions are greatly appreciated

The substantial costs of presenting a major choral work — rental fees for the concert hall, music licensing and performance rights fees, payments to guest artists, etc. — are covered primarily by our concert revenues and the monthly contributions of our members. We also operate and support an extensive choral program for children and young adults, as the training of young singers is an important contribution to the future of choral singing and music education.

As a non-professional oratorio choir, we are subject to and must deal with the oft precarious and ever changing financial conditions of the cultural and classical music landscape in Berlin. Our website – now with English-language content – is just one example of our ongoing efforts to improve our visibility and marketing

We perform with professional musicians and remain committed to paying professional fees to our soloists and the musicians who accompany us. At the same time, we strive to include new and unknown works – works that often require a substantial number of singers and thus the larger, and more expensive, concert venues, not to mention the associated fees for performance rights and scores.
