Wie klingt Basel?, folk songs for choir and large orchestra (2024), commissioned by the Sinfonieorchester Basel
The Sinfonieorchester Basel is on the road again with its 'Singalong-Mobil', because singing together makes people happy! With nine musicians, we visit various institutions in Basel to give free sing-along concerts. We have popular folk songs from the people of Basel with us.
We wanted to know what Basel sounds like, so we conducted a survey to find out which folk songs from all over the world are your favourites. We now want to bring a selection of these songs to life in all their polyphony. We want to learn from each other and sing together in different languages. What does Basel sound like? Let's discover it together!
