We discuss the compositional process, including the philosophy she holds related to the "end product" for singers. Namely, the importance of the singers exploring their own communities and connections WHILE also exploring the Music. We also bounce ideas back and forth related to composers having to be careful about "over refining" a composition, as well as the Music world's attempt to balance goals of equity with the human need for each composer to be valued based on their OWN Music and individual expression.

In Abgrenzung von Kammer- und Kirchenchor stiftete der Name „Jedweder Küchenchor“ eine Identität, die es in der Folge erlaubte, sich quer durch das Repertoire der Musikliteratur zu singen. Nach den anfänglich ausschließlich musikalischen Chordarbietungen, entdeckte der Chor immer mehr die Lust zur kreativen Bühnengestaltung und begann dramaturgische Elemente in die musikalische Darbietung einzubauen. Für das Programm „Familie Grinzinger besteigt einen Berg“ 1997, engagierte er erstmals eine Regisseurin (Nika Sommeregger), die den Chor bei der Inszenierung unterstützte. Mit den letzten größeren Programmen Fördernd ist Beharrlichkeit, Walisische Planktonmusik, 20 Jahre Sound im Getriebe – ein Fest , Prinzipiell bin ich ja lieber da und Schmeck’s ging der Chor weiter in...    less
