About this project

Sarah Kuppinger from VocalUp e.V. is responsible for this project
The participatory choirs VocalUp (10-16Y) and VocalUp+ (18-26Y), founded in 2021/22 by the VocalUp e.V. association, aim to bring together young people/young adults from different personal backgrounds to actively counteract social exclusion and discrimination by singing together and to enable them to experience community, participation, self-efficacy and democracy. VocalUp is non-institutionalised, free of charge and open to all young people/young adults without an audition. 

The special thing about VocalUp and VocalUp+ is that the extra-musical organisation is handled by the singers themselves and everyone involved - including the choir director - is under 27. The choir is also characterised by the fact that anyone can sing in it and no prior knowledge or audition is required. We firmly believe that choral singing is democracy in action, participation and self-realisation. In addition to learning the healthy use of the voice and achieving musical maturity, the choral community is therefore particularly important to us. The choirs meet once a month for a rehearsal weekend and 2-3 concerts and (foreign) trips take place every year. The choir thrives on the participation of the singers during rehearsals and especially in leisure activities. For example, the programme is determined democratically and arranged for the respective instrumentation, as there are often no suitable choral arrangements. 

 
The next concerts entitled "Love is love" will take place in June 2024. The young people and young adults want to use music to promote equal rights for the LGBTQIA+ community and at the same time create an opportunity for musical education and the experience of community and democratic participation for young people between the ages of 11 and 26 from all backgrounds, religions and social statuses.

In order to be able to finance the rehearsals and concerts, we are dependent on donations and would be delighted to receive your support.
