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.

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.

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.

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 March 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?
ok!choir Pop Up nights are open rehearsals that anyone can attend - no experience is necessary. We learn a whole song in one night and finish with a tiny, spontaneous performance in a nearby street or park (weather permitting) and a video recording so we can relive the magic as many times as we want!

It’s not often in this world that something really, truly perfect comes along. When you stumble upon one of these priceless treasures, you really must stop to marvel at its matchless wonder.
Please join ok!choir and friends on Wednesday 26th February, as we revel in the glorious majesty that is Michael Hutchence’s hair. The INXS song that we’ll learn in 3 part harmonies, Never Tear Us Apart”, is also pretty good.

Pop Ups are back from winter break, and there is “no doubt” (hyuk hyuk) that this one is going to be an epic ‘90s angst fest. Join us at our favourite cosy winter bar, Lovelite, to learn No Doubt’s super hit “Don’t Speak” in three part harmonies.

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.

Christmas: the guiltiest time of year. Join us to overindulge in musical pleasures of all shapes and sizes, and celebrate a very choiry 2019!
This Pop Up will have an extra special party format. To start the festivities, a few members of the weekly edition of ok!choir will show off their non-choir music-making chops, with a series of short performances from duos or trios and a song or two from ok!choir.
Once we’re all in a very musicky mood, we’ll learn to sing a special surprise Christmas guilty pleasure in three part harmonies. What will it be? You’ll have to come along and find out.
ok!choir Pop Ups are for everyone and anyone; no singing experience is required, all you have to do is show up and have a go! When better to sing obnoxiously in public than Christmas?

If the world was on fire, who better than Chris Isaak to save you? Join us learn the heart wrenching “Wicked Game”, the second in our three part Guilty Pleasures series, and fall in love with a world that’s only gonna break your heart.

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!

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.

!! POSTPONED !!
Rescheduled to 07.08.2019

“Learn to fly” while keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground with this month’s Foo Fighters Pop Up night! Some summer nights call for rock, and ok!choir is happy to oblige with a killer track from one of our favourite rock bands.
Join us and rock out at our monthly open rehearsal! Pop Up nights are for anyone who wants to come along for a sing - no experience necessary. We’ll learn the whole song in 3 parts, in the sweet freiluft at Birgit & Bier, and then finish the evening with a tiny, spontaneous performance. Everyone is welcome!

What you talkin‘ about?
I’M TALKIN’ ABOUT A REVOLUTION BABY
(it sounds like a whisper)
There have been a lot of amazing songs calling for a revolution, but I think this one might be my favourite. Put on your best ‘90s clothes, and let’s try to sing a new world order into being.
ok!choir’s monthly Pop Up nights are open for anyone who wants to participate. Over the course of the rehearsal we learn a whole song, in 3 part harmony, and finish the evening with a tiny, spontaneous performance.

The Dienstag Choir and ok!choir come together on the summer solstice to celebrate sun, summer, songs and singing!
Gather by the steps of the Emmaus-Kirche to hear some very unchurchy pop and indie songs. We'll even sing crazy choir reinterpretations of songs by some of your favourite bands, like Radiohead, Destiny's Child, Lizzo or Sharon van Etten!

🎶 Do you remember way back then
when everything was true and when
we would have such a very good time,
such a fine time,
such a happy time? 🎶
I remember! It was last month when we learned that Adele song! Such a fine time! Such a happy time!
More happy times coming at this month’s ok!choir Pop Up night, back in the open air at Birgit & Bier in Kreuzberg! Nothing will come between us dreamers as we learn “Our House” by Madness in 3 part harmonies. Something will be happening, and it’s usually quite loud, so whether you’re an experienced superstar singer, a drunken karaoke singer, or a secret shower-only singer, anyone can join in the wonderful cacophony.

It’s time for us to say “Hello” to Adele from the choir side! At this month’s ok!choir Pop Up night we’ll get to have it all, as we learn “Rolling In the Deep” from one of modern pop’s favourite ladies, Adele. We’re very happy to be returning to cosy and friendly Lovelite bar in Friedrichshain this month.
If you’re wondering if “someone like you” should come along, the answer is definitely yes. Ok!choir Pop Up nights are open rehearsals that anyone can join in on. We’ll be learning the whole song in 3 part harmonies, and will finish the night with a tiny performance in the street, in a park, or at a train station. Regardless of whether you’re a superstar singer like Adele or more of a shower-only performer, this night is for you.
