Hi there,
Beste mensen,

Er is 19 september weer een open worskhop voor iedereen die mee wil doen aan de Genetic Choir volgend seizoen, of gewoon een keer wil ruiken aan onze manier van werken.

People who consider joining the choir for the coming season are required to join the workshop. You don’t need a specific voice or singing background, everybody is welcome. All you need is an open mind and interest to work as part of a group.

the date: Sunday, 19 September 2010
the time: 11:00-18:00

contribution for the workshop: 25 Euro
place of the workshop will be announced.

Please send me an e-mail if you’d like to join.

Als je niet of nauwelijks Engels praat ben je trouwens ook welkom! 🙂 Afhankelijk van de deelnemers in het koor spreken we Nederlands en/of Engels. Wil je meer informatie omdat je geen Engels spreekt, of weet je al dat je mee wil doen, de 19de stuur me dan een e-mail.

Furthermore, the dates for the choir session until Februari 2011 are:

26 September 17 October
28 November
19 December
16 Januari
13 Februari
27 Februari (concert)

All sundays, 14:30-18:00

As a new member, you first need to take part in the Open Workshop on 19 September in order to join the regular sessions.

All the best,
Thomas

Three performances by the Genetic Choir

The Genetic Choir has performed in the last 5 months two times publicly, and one time informally…

My apologies that I have not been up to speed to announce these things on this blog. Actually, it has been a very nice season with the choir having had a large injection of very committed singers in September 2009. But I have not been very busy this season with posting.

For the meantime and the sake of completeness, here the peformance dates and places of the 2009/2010 season:   🙂

14 March 2010 Genetic Choir as guest of ‘Blauw’, in café Averechts, Utrecht
We performed a short piece inspired by the theme ‘Ijle Klanken’. The composition will be published online on the new website…

7 May 2010 Genetic Choir performs live soundtrack in the Ketelhuis, Amsterdam.
We were asked to perform an hour of instant music, as accompaniment of the screening of ‘Sound of Shadow’. See http://soundofshadow.com for more information on the filmproject.

27 June 2010 Informal concert at our rehearsal space in Amsterdam, to close the season.
A 25 minute piece by the choir and a 10 minute piece involving the audience. Both were recorded and the idea is that also these things will be published once the new website is up and running.

Thanks for this beautiful season and have a good summer!

Thomas
