What a wonderful World - concert by MissHarmony and Düssharmonie on 25.11. in Düsseldorf
A sold-out house and a great atmosphere - it really was a brilliant evening for the barbershop singers from "Düssharmonie" and "MissHarmony". The highlight was the song they performed together - also the motto of the concert - "What a wonderful world".
Incidentally, there was barbershop singing all over the country that weekend. In Dachau, "Herrenbesuch" and the "A Capella Company" Dachau met twice for a "double date" and "Maint Stream Magic" in Erlenbach had a joint performance with "Aftershave". In total, we brought 155 BING! barbershop singers on stage this weekend, who sang in front of a total of 1166 spectators (!).
We did something good for the public of BinG! Barbershop in Germany e.V., didn't we? We'll carry on the torch.

Wer kennt nicht das Problem, bei virtuellen Chorproben das Tempo zu halten? Gemeint sind hier nicht Einweg-Sessions mit einer Videokonferenz-Software wie z.B. Zoom oder Jitsi, sondern echtes Miteinander-Singen auf der Basis von Jamulus.
