TUMChor: The Choir of Our University
We are the choir of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of TUM. Every year we perform in the Munich Philharmonie at the university’s Advent concerts – and at many other festive occasions. Sing along!
Sing along!
We are always happy to welcome new singers interested in performing with the Symphonisches Ensemble München (Symphonic Ensemble of Munich). Students, staff, faculty, alumni, and friends of the Technical University of Munich are welcome to join us!
- Do you already have experience singing in a choir?
- Are you willing to independently prepare pieces?
- Do you have time to attend all (if at all possible) rehearsals?
As a project choir we practice specifically in preparation for upcoming concerts – it is therefore necessary to register seperately for each new project. This allows us to organize the various choir projects with maximum flexibility, be it in the "big choir" for the traditional TUM Advent matinee and VivaTUM (1st Advent), in the TUM Chamber Choir or sometimes in a very modern way in the TUM Pop-Up Choir.
The following projects are scheduled for 20204:
-
April 19, 2024: The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert: Live music for the film (original English version) in the Munich Olympic Hall with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and the TUM Choir & Wolfratshauser Children's Choir; Director: Ludwig Wicki; Rehearsal: Prof. Felix Mayer
-
June 12, 2024: TUMChor Pop-Up at the TUM Sustainability Day; Director: Dr. Annette Spiekermann
