Strijpskamerkoor The Strijps Chamberchoir

We are a group of singers that is passionate about singing good choral music on a high level. We would love to welcome you! Apart from our weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evening we have separate monthly rehearsals for each section of the choir to work on vocal blending and thus improve the sound of the choir as a whole. Also we are trained by a professional vocal coach on a regular basis. Once a year there is a workshop weekend.

By collaborating with other cultural disciplines and organisations we are constantly looking for possibilities to expand our musical horizon. In the past years the Strijps Chamberchoir has made a number of recordings, some of which you can find on our website.

Music with Strangers

Music with Strangers started in 2014 as an initiative to teach guitar for Expats. It evolved into a community formed mostly of internationals, and over the past 6 years has grown in size and complexity and expanded its range of activities with jamming and concerts. In 2017 Music with Strangers has become an association (vereniging).

We facilitate the meeting of people to play and enjoy music together, regardless of their personal and musical backgrounds, experience and preferences. We cherish the diversity of our group, and believe diversity encourages creativity. We value our differences in culture and musical preference. We empower the community by offering a friendly environment where musicians can easily meet, jam and perform.

Jamming evenings:

We gather to rehearse, jam, inspire and meet each other. Anyone can join. The location is announced on our FB page a few days in advance.
