HAW Hamburg Choir
Roughly 140 students, alumni, employees, professors and former employees sing in the HAW Hamburg choir. Uschi Krosch has been the choir director since it was founded in 2011.
In addition to the winter and summer concerts, which are each prepared over the course of a semester, the choir performs regularly at HAW Hamburg events, providing the musical part of the programme.
All students and employees who want to sing with others – or just try it out – are welcome to be part of the choir. Prior experience is not required! Male voices are particularly welcome.
Rehearsal times in summer semester 2025
................................................................................................................................................................................................
"You're the Voice" is the musical motto of the HAW Hamburg choir in the summer semester 2025: What is important to me? What do I love? What moves me? What do I wish for? How do I want to live? What does ‘little blue’ mean to me? How do I want to shape our environment? How do I experience art? What are words capable of?
The various themes relating to the important questions of life will be heard in arrangements and compositions ranging from classical, pop and jazz to experimental. It will be groovy, sonically exuberant, contemplative, sensitive and powerful. The works and arrangements by Jacob Collier, John Farnham, Aurora, ok.danke.tschüss, Sarah Quartel, Toby Young and others are confident, good-humoured, thoughtful, longing and inviting.
This semester we are working with two young dancers from the John Neumeier Ballet School for the first time. They will be performing some of the pieces at the concerts.
The next concerts are planned for July 11 and 12, 2025
Rehearsals start on 09.04.2025, 19:30, Alexanderstraße 1, Assembly Hall
Open rehearsals for new singers will be held on 09.04.2025 and 16.04.2025.
New singers are welcome. No previous experience is required.

Choir projects
Each semester we learn new pieces that are performed in a final concert together with professional musicians. Smaller compositions and pieces are curated and performed in summer based on a particular theme and cover a rich spectrum from jazz, to pop, to power metal.
In the winter semester the choir delights its audiences with bigger contemporary compositions, premieres of new works, or classical compositions.
Donate to the choir's fundraising society Donate to the choir's fundraising society
The HAW Hamburg choir needs money to do its work – for example, to borrow or buy sheet music, and to pay the fees of the various musicians it collaborates with. This is why the Förderverein des Chores der HAW Hamburg e.V. (Fundraising Society for the HAW Hamburg Choir) was founded. HAW Hamburg supports its choir to the best of its abilities, but smaller donations are also welcome so that we can initiate new and exciting projects each semester.
