    About this project

    Rundfunkchor Berlin from Rundfunkchor Berlin is responsible for this project
    Since 2011, the Rundfunkchor Berlin has been promoting collective singing at elementary schools in Berlin with its SING! educational program, providing children with a basic musical education. As of April 1, 2025, the funding will be discontinued – a decision made by the Berlin Senate. Without long-term funding, a fundamental pillar of music education in Berlin would disappear – with serious consequences for thousands of children.

    Despite the proven success of the project, the Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family has decided to discontinue the funding of 100,000 EUR per year as of March 31, 2025. This will acutely affect seven elementary schools, around 70 primary school teachers, around 330 primary school children and 15 SING! choirs. The funding at each school is set to run for three years. Some of the schools affected are just starting out or are in the middle of the program.

    SING! was launched with the aim of sustainably anchoring collective singing as a natural means of expression in everyday (school) life and introducing children, adults and teachers to the art form of singing and choir culture. Every year, around 500 children and 70 teachers and educators benefit from the support. Each year, seven to nine Berlin elementary schools from seven to eight districts take part.

    With your donation you help to maintain the educational program SING! until the end of 2025, while Rundfunkchor Berlin is looking for longer-term funding options for the project to guarantee the musical education of the youngest generation!
