2020 was a turbulent year to put it mildly! Our beloved OK choir was suspended in cyber space with only occasional real life meetings (when it was allowed!) Sadly we also had to say goodbye to our beloved choir conductor Claire who after nearly 3 amazing years of looking after us returned to her homeland of beautiful Australia. Thank you Claire for all you have done for us and we will always be in contact and hopefully we meet again soon!
After that sad year however the light at the end of the tunnel was gradually coming into view in 2021. We found an amazing new choir leader Ben! Yet another wonderful person full of energy and motivation (we are so lucky!). Welcome Ben and we are so happy to continue our fun song-filled journey with you!

Time: 19:00
Location: Jockel Biergarten

Fleetwood Mac are known for two things: soap-opera lifestyles and catchy pop songs. Celebrate at least one of these things with us at our upcoming Pop Up, where we’ll learn “The Chain” in 3 glorious parts. Will you sing the part of Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham, Christine McVie, or the other guy?

CANCELED: ok!choir Pop Up: digichoir goes live!
Location: Görlitzer Park - Pamukkale Brunnen
Yup, this is real. It‘s happening. We are having a real-life Pop Up event. OMG, how exciting is this?
We have missed our monthly open choir rehearsals dearly and this very troubling pandemic has made it quite hard for us to have one. BUT we managed to come up with a way that will allow us to sing together in person safely. At Görli! Yaaay!
We thought it would be a sweet idea to sing those songs that we have learnt and put together during the lockdown. But now sing them in real life and enjoy the warm feeling you get when singing together with real people.

Ok!choir online Pop Up - Good as Hell by Lizzo
Time: 19:30
Location: Youtube
For this month's ok!choir virtual Pop Up, we're going to write a little love letter to ourselves. The COVID lockdowns have obliged many of us to take lessons in resilience and self-care, and to practice finding joy in small things; a loaf of fresh bread, a phonecall from a friend, a bird singing in the courtyard, a white wine schorle on a sunny balcony. It's time to celebrate the things that make us happy.
When you're thinking about self-love and popular music there is only one artist to speak of: Lizzo. And so as we learn her feel-good hit "Good As Hell", I encourage you to adopt this mantra: I will love myself like Lizzo loves Lizzo.

Ok!choir online Pop Up - Holding Out for a Hero
Time: 19:30
Location: Youtube
This pandemic might have made some of us feel like we need a hero to come save us. Like a speedy vaccine making pharmacist. Or a brilliant treatment inventing doctor. Or an ingenious recycled toilet paper manufacturer that never runs out of stock. And there are indeed some brilliant frontline workers in essential services who are doing brave and important things that help us stay safe in the new reality. But for many of us living in this strange period of history, the only hero we actually need to come save us is ... our own selves. And since these days getting dressed at all is completely optional, there has never been a better time to wear your underwear as outerwear. Need a hero? BE A HERO.
