The Classical Choral Society -
Herning Korforening
Herning Korforening was founded back in 1941 – and is still going strong! We are a mixed choir singing a classical repertoire from a period starting from the middle age up to contemporary music. Our texts are in Danish, Latin, English and German – sometimes French. We are about 25 singers –our daily musical leader is Søren Bormann, 35 years old, candidate of musicology and organ player at the church of Odder. He teaches musicology and classical civilization at Marselisborg Gymnasium in Aarhus, and is the director of two choirs.
The choir is developing towards singing every second year with one or two other choirs.
For 3 years, 2018-2021, we have been in a pilot project with a network organization called “Herning Synger” (Singing in Herning) and The Jutland School of Singing. In this project we made projects for 7-11 weeks at a time with two final concerts. The project form worked so well that we still make projects of approximately 3 months each.
This autumn our project no. 19 runs from the 23 April to the 28 September. It has already included Herning Korforening´s participation – together with other local choirs, The Herning Church Boys’ Choir and MidtVest Girls’ Choir. – in Herning Opera Festival. Shortly after we had a late summer concert with our traditional collaborator the Herningsholm Museum at the 9 September. Finally, we round up with another late summer concert at the Library of Herning on Saturday 28 September at 11.
A way of joining the choir is to apply for membership via the FOF.dk where you can have membership for half a year at the time, the spring season and the autumn season, about 20 rehearsals per half year.
Another way of singing in the choir is to join a project; they are announced on the front page of our site, also the price.
You are welcome to join us on the dates mentioned in the “Korinformation” (Information to the Choir) on the homepage and experience for yourself! We usually have 3 free rehearsals followed by a test to place you in the right group, if there is a doubt.
Rehearsals take place on The Jutland School of Singing, Nørregade 7D, in “KORSALEN”, 7400 Herning, mondays from 7 to 9.15 PM.
