Virtual Rehearsals? (Update 2)
In Verbindung bleiben...

Are you considering rehearsing virtually? Then these hints (in German, with references to further German and English sources) from the VAN magazine (from which the picture was also taken) might help you: https://van.atavist.com/verbindung

May you do well!

Update: Heise points out that Zoom is giving data to Facebook without notice: https://www.heise.de/mac-and-i/meldung/Bericht-Zoom-App-fuer-iOS-reicht-Daten-heimlich-an-Facebook-weiter-4691613.html (in German). Gore a more detailed analysis see this English post: https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/

For videoconferences without the "original sound" feature of Zoom, I recommend: Jitsi for use with Chrome browser or Jitsi app. Conference servers are available here: https://meet.jit.si or https://meet.ffmuc.net

Update 2: Zoom reacted immediately and removed the data sharing feature from the iOS app with an update, see the announcement here.

Harmony College Team 2018

Every year, BinG! Harmony College requires a great deal of organization, loads of time and lots of know-how. Fortunately, we’ve always been able to find dedicated, diligent helpers, who provide for a structured concept, detailed preparation, and keep everything running smoothly. Most of this happens in the background.

Coaching Apprentice Program

Unsere eigenen BinG! Talente zu fördern, BinG! Quartette und Chöre sowie BinG! als Verband weiterzuentwickeln liegt uns am Herzen. "Wir", das sind der Vorstand, das Education Team & das Harmony College Team und wir freuen uns sehr darüber, im diesjährigen Harmony College erstmalig ein Coaching Apprentice Program (CAP) anbieten zu können.
