PROJECTS // ARABIC CHOIR

“Sing with us in Arabic”

Introduction to the World of Arab Melodies

„Sing with us in Arabic “ is the motto of the choir project with Faleh Khaless. Participants get the opportunity to experience the diversity of Arab choral music and get insight into the basics of Arabic singing techniques. The peculiarities of the articulation and pronunciation of Arabic song texts are part of the special appeal of the choir project. 

Participation Requirements

The course is primarily aimed at children and young people. Adults, groups and initiatives who are active in youth work are also welcome. Experience in choral singing is helpful, but not a prerequisite for participating in the choir!

Knowledge of Arabic is not required for participation. Beginners and advanced singers, Arabic and non-Arabic native speakers are all welcome. The course is suitable for anyone who would like to get to know Arabic music. The focus is on singing techniques and methods of expression, tone, articulation, pronunciation and intonation. An event full of practical exercises and exciting insights!
