Kölner Bürgerchor

Sing with us!

Mountains can be moved with the enthusiasm of the singers of the Bürgerchor.

Michael Ostrzyga

ging is pure joy - especially when you sing together. And even more so when you can light up the Kölner Philharmonie together with an orchestra. We would like to make this great experience accessible to many people and have therefore founded the Citizens' Choir. Here, people from a wide variety of backgrounds come together and prepare for a concert with the Gürzenich Orchestra.

In the coming 25/26 season, one of the greatest works is on the program for the Citizens' Choir: Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, with which Andrés Orozco-Estrada will open his first season with the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne. The citizens' choir will also be traveling with the Gürzenich Orchestra for the first time and performing at two other venues.

The application phase for participation in the Citizens' Choir will start soon. You will find the application form here.

We look forward to hearing your voice!
