Capella Carolina

The Choirs of the International University Center
at Heidelberg University

 WILLKOMMEN WELCOME BIENVENUE BENEVENUDO

Our choir is composed of mainly students and is open to all people who are musically inclined and who enjoy singing in an open, international, concentrated yet relaxed atmosphere. As choirs of the International University Center at Heidelberg University, it is very important for us to have international students feel welcome during our choir rehearsals, performances and celebrations. The “Camerata Carolina”, the prize-winning chamber choir of the university, welcomes new members with choir experience and very good vocal and musical qualifications. We also have a small troupe, the GSG 9, which performs at private parties, company events and university galas. The music repertoire ranges from contemplative sacred to lively secular. Flexibility, superior musical qualifications and a sense of adventure are just some qualifications that we are looking for in new choir members.
