Interview with Choir Member

Actually, Ellie, I'm the last founding member of the group, who is still with the group today, and so I experienced all the 20 years. And in those days of the very beginning, we just finished school. And we had been all members of the St. Thomas Boyce choir, you know, that's the choir in Leipzig that was Johann Sebastian Bach, the director in the 18th century. And so you can imagine that we all grew up with vocal music. And when the school finished, the choir time finishes too. And we just thought about doing something to continue singing. And singing a part alone in a group that was a challenge. And that was great fun. And so we started rehearsing and started performing. And we started as a hobby parallel to our studies in the university. And we developed it, yeah, to a main job. And you can imagine when I'm listening to the CD, the best of 20 years, it's like a journey in time. So you can hear the first recording

from the year 2001 until the last recording from the year 2019. And there are certain things that developed, but there are also certain things that remained over all this time. The way of creating is sound, the way of making harmony together and things like that.
