A festival of international understanding

Workshop Suche Chor - weiß es nur noch nicht -<br />
Den neuen Drang zum Singen für den eigenen Chor nutzbar machen<br />
Viel probiert, aber nur wenig klappt. Die Mitgliedersuche ist für viele Chöre ein großes Stück<br />
Arbeit, an das sich nur wenige heranwagen. Man macht mal dies, mal das. Aber nichts so<br />
richtig. Frischer Wind soll rein, aber wie? Wovon sollen sich potentielle neue Chormitglieder<br />
angesprochen fühlen? Getrieben von den Vorbereitungen auf ein oder zwei jährlich wiederkehrende<br />
Konzerthöhepunkte bleibt häufig wenig Zeit, sich als Chor nach jahrelanger Routine<br />
bewusst zu finden und Ziele für die Zukunft zu definieren. Der Workshop ist für Chorvorstände,<br />
Sängerinnen und Sänger, aber auch für Menschen, die Ideen haben und Dinge<br />
verändern wollen. Für Menschen, die Lust auf etwas neues haben und soweit gehen würden,<br />
einen eigenen Chor zu gründen. Genau das habe ich selbst zweimal getan und es waren die<br />
besten Entscheidungen meiner bisherigen musikalischen Tätigkeit.<br />
Looking for a choir - I just don't know it yet - Harnessing the new urge to sing to benefit<br />
your own choir<br />
You have tried a lot, but very little actually worked. For many choirs, the search for members<br />
is a big amount of work that only a few dare to tackle. Sometimes you do some of this, sometimes<br />
some of that. But you don't stick to anything. A breath of fresh air is needed, but how?<br />
What could potential new choir members feel attracted to? Driven by preparations for one<br />
or two annual concert highlights, there is often little time for the choir to consciously come<br />
together after years of routine and to define goals for the future. The workshop is for choir<br />
boards, singers, but also for people who have ideas and want to change things. For people<br />
who have a desire for something new and would go so far as to start their own choir. That's<br />
exactly what I did twice myself and those were the best decisions of my musical career so far.<br />
