Join the Antwerp Cathedral Choir

 

Are you between the ages of 8 and 14?

Would you like to let your voice reverberate under the vaults of the Cathedral?

Or join others in using your singing talents during liturgy and concerts?

Then the new Cathedral Choir for boys and girls is for you!

 

 

Also during the Easter holiday, introductory days will be organised for the new children's choir of Antwerp Cathedral. This three-day rehearsal session will take place from 11 to 13 April 2023 in the choir room, Heilige Geeststraat 21, 2000 Antwerp (Vrijdagmarkt). You can register for this event until 1 April 2023.

 

The introductory days are non-binding and offered free of charge by DeKathedraal. Besides choral singing with choir director Sebastiaan van Steenberge and voice training with mezzo-soprano Anastasiia Staroselska, there will also be time for sports, games and relaxation. The introductory days will conclude with a show moment in the choir room for parents and other supporters of the singers.
