10:30 - 12:30: "Rainbow Choir" workshop 

Gelukkig team poseren

Nothing more fun than learning or improving the Flemish language through cool simple Flemish songs. Together with RIMO and the Rainbow Choir, we will work out a course from March 2024 with a fun final session during the festival. The workshop will be led by Jonas Van Esch.

Jonas plays accordion and sings songs that everyone knows and can sing along to. With his years of experience in all possible contexts, he knows how to adapt his repertoire to any situation without any problem.

Do not expect an accordionist sitting in a corner playing, but an enthusiastic musician who plays among (and with) the audience, providing recognisable songs & melodies, humour and entertainment. There's nothing more fun than singing together, you'll soon notice. And if you want to do a dance, that's definitely part of the possibilities too.

14:00 - 16:30: competition

5 selected choirs with equal or mixed voices will sing a 25-minute competition programme including a compulsory work specially composed for IKV-Genk by Flemish composer Kurt Bikkembergs.

 

DAY TICKET + CLOSING CONCERT: €20

17:00 - 19:00: pop choir workshop - Rise Up

A ‘show’-what? Simply a choir that is a treat for - yes - the eye!

The show choir is not just a choir, it is so much more: we sing, dance with refined choreography, we sparkle, shine and give our talents every opportunity to develop. The singing is very important, but so is the visual aspect. Everyone on stage sings and  dances as well. No separate dance group, no separate choir. No, the choir brings the show at the same time.

Karin Lauwers, founder and leader of the pop choir Rise Up en dance coach Sander Camps (dance studio Odacs) take us into the world of pop choirs and especially show choirs.

 

TICKET: €10

For whom?  

Active: If you are between 15 and 25 years young and would like to experience what it feels like to dance and sing along in a top show choir, then this is the perfect workshop for you.

Passive: would you like to start a show choir OR do you already have some experience but want more. If you just want to experience a show rehearsal, then this workshop is highly recommended.  

Cost of the workshop: € 10
