“I’ve been leading choirs and ensembles of all ages and abilities for over 20 years. My goal is to make singing together enjoyable, educational, and enriching. I believe choirs should be active in the community, building trust and connections in Bom-B Music, Utrecht and beyond. Everyone is welcome to join, even if they can’t read music at first – we can work on that together! I focus on creating a warm, inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and can enjoy the magic of making music together.”

At the Bom-B Choir, each session begins with yoga-inspired warm-ups and breathing exercises designed to prepare our voices, body, and mind. By establishing a relaxed and focused state, we can fully engage with the music and each other. As we explore a variety of musical styles and genres, we learn to appreciate their unique characteristics and immerse ourselves in the sounds, texts, and colors that music offers. Our choir values teamwork, empathy, and solidarity, all within a supportive and safe environment.
Our focus includes voice technique, music reading, tuning, text interpretation, repertoire development, and achieving balance among vocal sections. We welcome anyone who loves to sing, regardless of musical background—no prior training required, just a passion for singing and music!
Every year, we present a minimum of two performances—one in winter and one in summer—featuring repertoire from Europe, Latin America, North America, and beyond. With an open and curious approach, we continuously align our efforts with the interests and aspirations of our choir members.
We look forward to welcoming you to our rehearsals!
