Management
As of January the 1st 2023 our management team consist of two strong-minded women well versed in the Danish music scene.
In a well-established and trustful work relation, knowing each other way back from their student years at the The Royal Academy of Music, Cille and Monica are both dedicated to providing the best settings for the young singers to thrive. Working with teenagers, they attach importance to a safe and confident environment, but with an identifiable firm and ambitious structure. They aim to care for the individual requirement of each singer and to treat the singers with respect.

"The body must carry the voice
– The soul the message"
Community and individuality
To sing in a choir is to enter into a community where music is the focal point and the love that binds us together. A choir community is special because no one can hide when singing. Singing is the most honest form of communication that exists between people.
When you sing in a choir, you are not alone, you have a place where everyone has chosen to come, to develop, express and unfold musically. To develop the strongest possible choir, it requires strong singers with expressiveness and courage. The singers' individual expressions and biases give the choir edge and impact.
Singing so that you meet your audience requires a strong physique and open access to your emotional register.
Thanks for a nice testimonial from a parent!
"It is with a bleeding heart that you are going to sing our daughter out of the choir today. It's probably been the hardest decision for her ever.
As a mother, I am so sad that she is leaving the choir, and I just want to say thank you very much for some incredibly lovely and rewarding years, which have been filled with the most wonderful musical experiences ❤️. And thank you for the education, discipline and amazing teaching that she has received along the way. It has been so rewarding for her to be part of the choir – not least socially. Everything has strengthened her as a person and I'm so proud of that.
Thank you for taking such good care of our daughter. It's been a pleasure to be on the sidelines all the way."
