Time: 19:00
Location: cassiopeia Berlin
Address: Revaler Str. 99, 10245 Berlin
The frightening images of the devastating Australian bushfires going around the world these days are quite overwhelming. It can feel a bit hopeless; watching the news while being so far away, trying to imagine the scope and magnitude of the problem, coming to grips with the long-term impacts for people, property, flora, fauna.
We don’t want to just watch anymore. We want to help.

ok!choir Pop Up edition: Bonnie Tyler
Time: 19:30 (Doors: 19:00)
Location: Lovelite
Address: Haasestraße 1, 10245 Berlin
ok!choir’s Pop Up nights need little explanation; you come, we learn a song in three part harmonies, and end the night by showering ourselves in self-congratulatory bliss. But there are some songs we love that are just too trashy, too cheesy, too gaudy, to sing all together.
Or are they?
September’s edition of ok!choir’s “Guilty Pleasures” autumn Pop Up series offers you the opportunity to revel in the delightful over-the-topness of Bonnie Tyler’s 80s masterpiece, “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. The song hails from a time when too much was nowhere near enough. Hair was stratospheric. Shoulder pads were boxy. Synthesizers were many. Get ready to get epic!

Pop Up edition: ok!choir sings Lykke Li
Time: 19:30 (Doors: 19:00)
Location: Birgit&Bier
Address: Schleusenufer 3, 10997 Berlin
Did you know “Lykke” is the danish word for happiness? And did you know that “Li” is a Chinese unit of distance, equivalent to half a kilometer?
The first of these statements is likely to be more relevant than the second at this month’s Lykke Li Pop Up night! We are offering you the chance to have 90 minutes of singing happiness, learning Lykke Li’s super boppy hit “I Follow Rivers”.
There will be silly warm ups so your voice will be ready to sing, even if you haven’t used it this way for a while.
There will be a rehearsal, where we’ll learn the whole of this fun song in 3 part harmonies. There are easier parts for people who normally only sing in the shower, and trickier parts for people who sing all the time, so anyone can join in!
Then, when it’s sounding amazing, we’ll pop out to the bar and sing it for the lucky patrons at our wonderful host venue, Birgit & Bier! This is our last Freiluft Pop Up for the year, so if you’ve been planning to come but haven’t made it yet this is your chance.
What could be more fun than having a big sing with a friendly group of 70 or so people on one of the last warm* nights of the year? We promise, you’ll be feeling very Lykke by the end of the night.
