Singers Rehearsal on 27 September 2023

Dear potential new members, 

we would like to start inviting people who want to join the ESME singers.

Please sign up if you plan to attend our rehearsal on the 27th of September.

Please keep in mind that this is not a ticket to membership. We have very limited places for new members. It's most important to us, that you are commited and can come to wednesday rehearsals regularly. We invite you to get to know you and then decide who to take on.

We look forward to meeting you !

Repertoire
Our repertoire is a mixture of various genres and languages, so that everybody should find a favorite piece per season.
This season there will be:

Veni, Veni Emmanuel (comp. Trotta)
Lux aurumque (Whitacre)
Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen (Praetorius)
Variations on Deck the Hall (arr. Ryan O'Connell)
Angels are Singing (Anuna, Michael McGlynn)
Jingle Bell Rock (arr. Alessandro Cadario)
Ocho Kandelikas
Walking in the air (John Leavitt/Howard Blake)
„Hallelujah“ from „Messiah“ HWV 56
Silent Night (Pentatonix)

How to become a member and what to pay?

First, just join some rehearsals so that we can get to know each other. After usually 3-4 rehearsals, we have a little audition to find out to which voice you would fit best. Afterwards you would sign a membership contract and - HURRAAAAYYY - become an ESMate. We are an amateur choir, i.e. we don't expect you to have profound music knowledge or sight-read. Just hit possibly 95% of the notes so as not to disturb anybody else and make our performances enjoyable for our audience. And social life is at least as important to us than a nice singing performance.

We are a non-profit Verein and depend on member's contributions to keep the organization running. This means also, that you will have to pay a 50 Euro annual membership fee (30 Euros reduced) and a subscription of 60 Euros (30 Euros reduced) for each season you are taking part in.

You can get reduced fees if you are a student, unemployed or retired. Just need proof.

Further Information
For further information about dates and venues, please check our ESME calendar: https://esme-ev.de/calendar.

See you soon!
