«We came with our individual voices and left as a choir!»
The projet
In 2024, our German friends Michaela and Rita embarked on a new challenging venture: to organize for the first time a Eurojumelages meeting dedicated to ‘International Choir Singing’, to attempt to sing choral works together. The venue chosen for this Eurojumelage premiere, was the music academy housed in Engers Castle, with its rehearsal rooms and terrace overlooking the Rhine. This turned out to be the ideal setting for this ambitious project.
