Hey you!
Are you looking for a great choir with open-minded people who enjoy singing together? Then the ESG Choir is the right address for you! Unfortunately, we can no longer accept people during the semester because we are at the limit of our capacity. If you are interested, please come to our next trial rehearsal in the winter semester, the date will be announced. If you want to see us live, then make a note of our concert dates (see below) :) What fixed dates should you plan? Regular rehearsals every Monday from 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. We usually sing once a semester at a church service in the ESG. Once or twice a semester we meet for a rehearsal day. In the summer semester there is a rehearsal weekend, where you will be there from Friday to Sunday if possible. And of course our concert weekend consisting of a concert on Friday and Sunday

What costs will you incur?
A large portion of the costs for the ESG Bonn choir is very generously subsidized by the regional church. This allows us to keep costs very low. Nevertheless, we've decided that we'd like to treat ourselves to a few things and therefore collect a participation fee (for example, to hire musicians for our concerts).
The facts about the participation fee:
The participation fee is collected during the winter semester for the entire year.
It is entirely voluntary – those who cannot pay don't have to. We always find a solution in individual cases. No one should be unable to sing in the choir for financial reasons.
You decide the amount of the fee yourself. We recommend €25 for students, €40 for working professionals, and €10 for those who are currently short on funds.

What costs will you incur?
The majority of the costs for the ESG Bonn choir are very generously subsidized by the regional church. This allows us to keep the costs very low. Nevertheless, we have decided that we would like to "treat" ourselves to a few things and collect a participation fee (for example, to "buy" musicians for our concerts).

 

The hard facts about the participation fee:

  • The participation fee is charged on a semester-by-semester basis.
  • It is voluntary - if you can't pay, you don't have to pay. We always find a solution in individual cases. Nobody should not be able to sing in the choir for financial reasons.
  • You determine the amount of the fee yourself. We recommend € 25 for students, € 40 for working people and € 10 for those who are short of money.

 

 What other costs are involved?

Our rehearsal weekend is also generously subsidised. The personal contribution for the 2025 summer term was €50.
 The cost of concert attire depends on personal needs and taste (the ‘dress code’ will be communicated in good time).
