Youth Choir Herzog Ernst Grammar School Uelzen

Germany

The Youth Choir of the Herzog-Ernst-Grammar School currently consists of about 25 students from years eight to thirteen who, despite busy schedules and other hobbies, are enthusiastic about the school choir and want to reestablish and further develop it together after the Covid period. Former students of the HEG also remain loyal and support the choir during concerts and the participation in the EUROTREFF. The repertoire of the choir includes well-known works of different styles and epochs: from works of the Renaissance to Romanticism, from European folk songs to ethnically influenced music. Songs from rock, pop and musicals also play an important role, as do German a cappella pieces by Oliver Gies. For the choir of a European school, the days in Wolfenbüttel are a musical and intercultural highlight, through which many European friendships have already been formed in the past. The singers are already looking forward to finally being there again!
