Taster rehearsals for big band, university choir, pop choir and symphony orchestra

1) groovING TUC Big Band

Are you musically inclined and play an instrument? Then our Big Band is the right place for you! You can socialise with students and lecturers as well as administrative staff and people from all kinds of professions. We are all amateur musicians who enjoy music from the genres of funk, jazz, pop and rock arranged for a big band. After each semester we play a concert, and every year we organise a workshop with a well-known big band great.  We invite you to drop in on the rehearsal days without obligation. We also have instruments for hire if you don't have your own. Just come to our rehearsal every Friday from 18:00 -20:00 in the Institute of Mathematics. Please register in advance at bigband@tu-clausthal.de so that we can have sheet music and, if necessary, loan instruments ready for you. You can also just come and see what it's like here first. Of course, we are happy for you to bring your own instrument. If you would like to find out more about us, please visit https://www.bigband.tu-clausthal.de or send us an email: bigband@tu-clausthal.de

2) Rock, Pop & Jazz Choir
We sing songs from the rock, pop and jazz genres, for example by Udo Lindenberg and Apache 207, Ed Sheeran, Revolverheld and Queen. For some songs, such as Africa by Toto, we are accompanied by the big band. As a particularly versatile choir, we naturally also have jazz vocals in our programme, and you don't have to be able to read music for our modern choir, as our choirmaster sings each part and makes it available to us in the correct pitch for downloading. So we can always hear our voice and sing along. Students, lecturers, administrative staff and singers from all kinds of professions from the region sing in our choir.  We are happy to welcome new singers into our great community. We rehearse every Monday from 17:45-19:15 in the auditorium of the Haupt- und Realschule, Berliner Str. 48 in Clausthal. You can visit our rehearsals without obligation and join in straight away or just listen. However, it would be nice if you let us know in advance and send us an email: popchor@tu-clausthal.de. If you want to know more about us, you can of course also write to us and have a look at our website: https://www.popchor.tu-clausthal.de
