Who are we? The choir is the heart and soul of the Basel Proms project. We have members of all ages and nationalities. Many are new to choral singing, while others have decades of experience.
What do we sing? Our diversity is reflected in our musical repertoires. We sing in English, Italian, Latin, German…and a dash of Swiss dialect. The programme for 2025 will be published on the main Basel Proms website.
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 for workshops and rehearsals from April until the performance in early November.
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.
The experience of performing alongside professional musicians to a packed Basel Stadtcasino – one of the world´s best concert halls – is sure to be unforgettable.
We hope you will join us on this journey in 2025.
Warm wishes from your Basel Proms team
