MITGLIEDER DES COLLEGIUM MUSICUM BERLIN<br />
Deutschland / Germany, Berlin<br />
Gründungsjahr / Founded: 1954<br />
Festival<br />
Chorleiterin / Conductor: Donka Miteva<br />
Von Alter Musik bis zur Uraufführung: Das Repertoire des Großen Chores ist so anspruchsvoll<br />
wie abwechslungsreich. Der Große Chor beeindruckt durch seine schiere Größe von rund 200<br />
Sänger*innen, wovon eine kleine Besetzung in <strong>Magdeburg</strong> mitwirken wird. Jedes Semester<br />
werden aufs Neue anspruchsvolle Werke aus verschiedenen Epochen erarbeitet, die durch<br />
ihre große dynamische Spannweite beeindrucken. Neben den wöchentlichen Proben stehen<br />
in jedem Semester auch ein bis zwei Probenwochenenden auf dem Plan. Besondere Chorreisen<br />
führten bisher nach Danzig (2017), Dresden (2018) und Stralsund/Greifswald (2019). Die<br />
Ergebnisse der Probenarbeit präsentiert der Chor in den Semesterkonzerten, in der Regel<br />
gemeinsam mit einem unserer Orchester in der Berliner Philharmonie.<br />
From early music to world premieres, the chamber choir's repertoire is as challenging as it is<br />
varied. One focus is on contemporary music. Currently the repertoire includes works in more<br />
than 15 languages. The chamber choir regularly participates in competitions and festivals.<br />
The choir won first prizes at the 44th International Competition in Olomouc (CZ) in 2016 and<br />
at the Grand Prix of Nations in Berlin in 2017. The jury of the Grand Prix competition also named<br />
the chamber choir the "Absolute Winner". In May 2018, the choir represented the state<br />
of Berlin in the chamber choir category at the 10 th German Choir Competition in Freiburg with<br />
very good success. In 2019, the choir traveled to Spain for the International Choir Competition,<br />
and in 2021 it participated in the CHORALSPACE Winter Festival in Berlin.
