About the performers

It Eindhovens Kamerkoor sings its repertoire with great pleasure at a high level. The programs are put together around a theme or composer. This results in varied concerts: from Renaissance to contemporary, from unknown to well-known, from a capella to works with instrumental accompaniment and soloists.

The choir brings performances at a high artistic level with works that touch the listener. A concert by the Eindhovens Kamerkoor is an experience. The beautiful, warm choir sound contributes to this.

The Eindhovens Kamerkoor consists of approximately 25 experienced amateur singers. Larger projects are done in collaboration with guest and project singers, other choirs and ensembles.
