When do we perform? The main Basel Proms show at the at the Basel Stadtcasino takes place every second November (2022, 2024, 2026…). On alternate years, we offer a variety of choral activities and smaller performances.
In 2025 we are partnering with Basel Kantonalbank, Sing! Basel, and Basel Tourismus in association with the Eurovision Song Contest to GET BASEL SINGING! This will be a thrilling year for our choir, and quite a departure from our usual venues and repertoires!
Who are we? We are a community choir with members of all ages and nationalities. Many of us are new to choral singing, while others have decades of experience.
What unites us? Friendship, fun, and our dedication to creating the best possible choral sound, are key ingredients to the Basel Proms experience. We pride ourselves upon the uniquely Basel flavour of our Proms, and enjoy sharing the stage with local artists.
Unable to commit to a weekly choir group? The Basel Proms Chorus may be the perfect choice for you! We stay active throughout the year, with weekend workshops from March onwards, and evening rehearsals on various week nights. Chorus members are encouraged to attend all workshops and as many rehearsals as possible.
We welcome experienced and less experienced singers. Do you want to improve your vocal technique under the guidance of a professional choir master and an internationally acclaimed conductor? Or do you love to sing, but struggle to read sheet music? We have a range of resources – including videos and mp3 recordings – to help you learn the music at your own pace. When you feel prepared, you can fully enjoy rehearsal time, and sing even complicated pieces with confidence.
We hope you will join us in 2025.
