Chor zur Welt

In the organizer's words:

Choir party in Brazilian style

Usually, the 60 or so singers from over 15 nations of the Choir to the World sing a colorful program with music from all of the members' home regions. But this time, in keeping with the focus of the 2024/25 season, Brazil is the focus of the Elbphilharmonie's participatory ensemble. More precisely, "música popular brasileira", or "MPB" for short, which Brazilians affectionately call "nossa música" (our music).
