Tekstboks: We are a part-singing male choir, the purpose of which is to create an interest in this branch of harmonic singing. The Choir has about 50 active members. The Choir's repertoire is mainly Danish and Scandinavian songs and ballads suitable for a male choir with 4 voices. In addition to that we also sing some German and English songs, which are suited for and in some cases directly written for male choirs, some of them arranged especially for our choir either by the conductor or one of the choir members. The Choir performs in concerts, by larger arrangements too, entertainment at private celebrations. Thus the choir gives more than 20 public performances every year, just as it is naturally for us to sing about Christmas time in rest homes, hospitals and the like. The Choir has often travelled in Europe, the later years in Sweden, the Netherlands and Germany. However we have also been touring outside Europe, for example 1989 on tour in USA and in spring 2001 a visit in Beijing, China, resulting in an invitation to the "2001 Jiangmen International Chorus Festival" 1st - 5th October 2001. Again In autumn 2005 the choir was on tour, this time to the beautiful city Prague, giving a concert in Nejsvetejsi Srdce Pane, a very big and modern church with a very excellent acoustic. Lately - in 2007 - The Choir has paid a visit to City Goslar in Germany, to celebrate the 140 year jubilee for our choir of friendship there with a big concert - 4 choirs with a total of 110 singers - in the church Stefani. In July 2009 the choir has participated in the “Festival Verona Garda Estate” in Italy with 37 singers. Later this year - during the “Aarhus festival week” - the choir again will perform - 8 times - in the theater in “Den Gamle By” (“The Old City”), and in December there will be the Christmas concerts there.
