THE BASEL PROMS CHORUS

The chorus is the heart and soul of the Basel Proms project.

Our singers hail from Switzerland, France, Germany, and beyond. Up to 130 members of every age group and level of experience come together to create a diverse and exciting choral sound.

Join us, and you will be immersed in the British choral tradition. Principal Conductor, David Lawrence flies in from London for three weekend workshops. David helps us to work through the concert repertoire, discusses its historical context, and creates a delightfully upbeat and positive environment in which to improve vocal, musical and choral skills.

David works in close collaboration with our Chorus Master here in Basel, Maija Geschwind. Maija leads monthly rehearsals from May through to October.

Thank you for taking this wonderful life experience happen. It was amazing to be part of such a wonderful living creation!

Being in a choir for the first time since I was at school (many years ago!) was a fantastic experience. The collaboration and the new contacts I have made amongst the choir members have certainly enriched my life. Whenever the next event takes place, I am eagerly looking forward to it.

Meine beste Entscheidung diesen Sommer: bei “Baselproms” mitzusingen!!! Die schöne Musik, das gemeinsame Singen, die gute Organisation, die tollen Proben, vor allem mit David. Und all die netten Leute, die ich kennen lernen durfte. Und dann natürlich das Konzert. Wirklich ein unvergessliches Erlebnis! Thank you!

It was an incredible experience, and everything that shared music making should be: high quality, fun, thrilling, stirring, moving and joyful. It was a great privilege to sing with the chorus, and I am still buzzing, two days later. Thank you, and I do hope to be able to make music again with you all in the future.
