Join the Philharmonic Choir Aalborg
If you, as a choir singer, are eager to join one of Northern Jutland's top classical choirs, the Philharmonic Choir Aalborg might be the perfect fit for you. We are continually accepting new members.
If you're interested, please read on…
To be admitted to the Aalborg Philharmonic Choir, you first need to contact the choir's chairperson, Helle Kongsgaard Pedersen, and arrange to attend your first Monday rehearsal. Before you are formally accepted into the choir, you will need to pass an audition, which will take place after the first Monday rehearsal you attend.
If you are accepted, you will be assigned a welcome buddy from your voice group when you start with the choir - someone who will introduce you to the other members and whom you can rely on and ask about anything related to the choir.
The requirements for joining the choir are a good singing voice and a good ear. It is also advantageous to have a solid knowledge of music notation. It's important that you are committed to attending rehearsals and concerts regularly. Extra rehearsals before concerts should be expected.
To ensure the best balance in the choir, there are a limited number of spots in each voice group. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that there will be space in your group, and you may be placed on a waiting list.
To maintain the choir's high standard, regular voice tests are conducted for all members.
As a rule, the choir does not accept new members who are over 60 years old.
A season usually runs from mid-August to mid-June.
We rehearse every Monday from 7:00 PM to 9:45 PM at Gug Church, Nøhr Sørensens Vej 7, 9210 Aalborg SØ.
Extra rehearsals before concerts should be expected.
Semi-annual membership fee: DKK 1,000 (students DKK 500).
