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 three weekend workshops in April, September, and October 2024, and six evening rehearsals on various week nights, from May until October, with a break in the month of July. Chorus members are encouraged to attend all workshops and as many rehearsals as possible.

Dear singers,
It was a great pleasure to meet you and to get started on this exciting project together! I am so looking forward to our first rehearsal on 30th May.

Workshops with David Lawrence
David is our Principal conductor. He is based in London, and has over 25 years ́ experience working with choirs across the UK and around the world. He will lead 3 workshops (5 full days) in Basel, and return on 2nd November 2024 to conduct the show.
Under his skilful direction, we will connect as an ensemble, and maximise our individual contributions to achieve a rich, resonant sound.
