Kölner Bürgerchor

Sing with us!

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

Michael Ostrzyga

Singing is pure joy - especially when you sing together. And even more so when you can light up the Cologne Philharmonic Hall 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 to prepare for a concert with the Gürzenich Orchestra.

On the schedule for the Citizens’ is one of the greatest works of vocal symphonic music: Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 2, with which Lorenzo Viotti will open the new 2024/25 season. No more registrations are currently being accepted. If you enter your e-mail address here, you will receive a short message as soon as there is a new project and the registration phase starts.
