Conducted by The Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, The choir is now considered to be among The best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music – Renaissance, Baroque, Classical – through Romantic and 20th century music to that of The present day. As an enthusiastic advocate of modern repertoire, Arsys regularly commissions new works by living composers. Conductor Pierre Cao, very attentive to The historical context of each era, sculpts The text of each work with patience and humanity, giving Arsys its unique sound unanimously acclaimed by professionals and public alike:”The sound of this choir is of incredible homogeneity and clarity: perfect intonation, respect of The Vocal line and diction, dynamics, and a particular emphasis on The words, which bestows increased life...    less

Die ca. 30 Sängerinnen und Sänger im Alter zwischen 16 und 31 Jahren begeistern seit 2017 unter der Leitung von Luc Nelissen (u.A. Rock4) die Stadt Aachen, die Region und auch darüber hinaus die Menschen mit ihrem Gesang. Alles a cappella – FLOW präsentiert sowohl ruhige Lieder als auch coole Beats. Bereits gute zwei Jahre nach der Gründung, hat sich der Chor schon einen großen Namen gemacht. Auf Auftritte im Rahmenprogramm der Karlspreisverleihung 2017 oder der Chorbiennale im selben Jahr, folgte bald die Umsetzung eigener Projekte. So nahm Flow Ende 2017 eine erste EP mit fünf Songs auf und konnte 2018 ein eigens produziertes Musikvideo zu ihrer Version von February Song (im Original von Josh Groban) aufnehmen. Der Chor der Musikschule Aachen sorgte zuletzt im Fernsehen für Furore, als der WDR Ende 2018 „den besten Chor im Westen“ suchte. Stimmgewaltig, voller Energie und Lebensfreude stürmten die Aachener ins Finale und überzeugten mit ihrem Ges...    less
