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. 

When are our performances? The Basel Proms takes place every second November at the Basel Stadtcasino (2022, 2024, 2026…). Previous Basel Proms programmes can be found on the main Basel Proms website.

On alternate years, we offer a variety of choral activities and smaller performances. This year, we have been tasked with encouraging members of the public to get into the Eurovision mood and get singing! Details of 2025 rehearsals and appearances will be available very soon.  

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.

When do we meet? We meet periodically through the year for workshops and rehearsals.

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.

Warm wishes from the Basel Proms team 

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.
