New professional vocal ensemble
With BernVocal, conductor Fritz Krämer wants to complement the baroque orchestras anchored in the region. The first performance will take place in the fall.
BernVocal is a chamber choir for early music. It was founded in order to establish a professional vocal ensemble dedicated to historical performance practice alongside the baroque orchestras already firmly established in the concert life of the city and canton. To this end, conductor Fritz Krämer has been able to recruit singers and early music specialists from Bern and the surrounding area. The ensemble will perform Anthems by Henry Purcell on November 9 and 10 in Thun and Bern.
As the choir writes in a press release, talks are already underway with the aforementioned instrumental ensembles, who are interested in joint concerts and collaborations. In the long term, BernVocal would also like to establish itself on a national and international level.
