Popup Choir Taylor Swift: sing along with Maarten Bos and Tijmen de Koning
About the event
The roof of the Main Hall is coming off again with Popup Choir! They lead and you sing. Conductor Maarten Bos and guitarist Tijmen de Koning are the driving force behind the most accessible singing event in the Netherlands. This evening: the music of Taylor Swift! One song takes center stage and you will learn to sing in harmony, and tonight that is The Fate of Ophelia! Popup Choir
What started in 2017 as a small group of people in Amsterdam singing songs together in an informal setting has grown into the most famous 'walk-in choir' in the Netherlands. Tens of thousands of people have already sung along. From Carré to Paradiso and Lowlands. There have also been several (sold-out) evenings in the Main Hall of the Concertgebouw. The recipe: Tijmen de Koning (guitarist) and Maarten Bos (conductor) write a multi-part version of a fantastic pop song. This is rehearsed with everyone present. In three-part harmony. Everyone can join in. Experience is not necessary. So whether you sing alone in the shower, with your friends in the pub, or never at all, at Popup Choir you simply sing along.
Taylor Swift
No one can get around her, or ever has been able to: Taylor Swift! Loved by young and old.
