Wait a minute - didn't EKBC already celebrate its 30th birthday in 2017?
That's right. But when a founding member reaches his 80th birthday, that's also a reason to celebrate. Instead of handshakes and hugs, there were "only" personal wishes, poems and video greetings from many long-time friends during a Zoom session, but even these were heartfelt pleasures for the celebratee. Because Rudi Kalka is still actively involved as a bass singer, the preparations for a birthday serenade had to be done in secret. But the joy was all the greater when the Polecat song with individual lyrics could then be performed - assembled from 37 individual recordings of almost all current chorus members.
With this release we wish the jubilarian once again all the best: Gratulacje, drogi Rudi!
The Barberellas are looking for a new musical director with immediate effect.
At the Barbershop Music Festival many got to know our wonderful musical director Sebastian Dahmen, who unfortunately had to quit due to relocation and private reasons.
We are looking for a new bass singer!
What a breathtaking evening: On January 8, the EKBC was finally able to once again thrill the audience in the sold-out Senftöpfchen! With old and new pieces and two guest quartets, the "boys" offered a varied program ranging from the greatest ambition to hullabaloo - just like the chorus has been known and appreciated for decades.
EKBC's search for a new musical director ended with considerable success. Matthias Neuburger, long-time and now outgoing director says: "I am enormously pleased that the chorus has chosen Andrea Figallo as my successor."
Grunts come from the rehearsal room. A crow "answers" from outside. Truly unusual sounds produced by EKBC singers and singer friends. But it's all in good fun: Kerstin Greaves, singer, coach and certified CVT trainer, asked to try out sound effects like have been systematically described in the "Complete Vocal Technique".
