New light to twenty-first century vocal jazz.
ACDA, Choral Journal, 2020 (Seattle, USA)

Vocal pioneers. Progressive. Innovative. Even revolutionary. Anything but arbitrary.
Jazzthetic, 2020

What's amazing about this collective is that it has invented a completely new, not to say: refined sound.

The concert was a firework of rhythm.

For the first time in the history of our choir, each choir in the jazz choir family had its own concert evening!

It has been an absolutely heartwarming moment for everybody, and we are very much looking forward to next year.

 

For over 20 years, Sparkasse Freiburg-Nördlicher Breisgau has accompanied the Jazzchor Freiburg on its journey through the world of music.

This year, the choir is once again being supported with a generous donation.

"Music connects people," emphasized Daniel Zeiler, Chairman of the Board of Sparkasse Freiburg-Nördlicher Breisgau, as he handed over a symbolic cheque for 5,000 euros to our founder and director Bertrand Gröger.

"Our collaboration is particularly important to us, as it makes worldwide performances, CD recordings and lively concert activities possible," emphasized Marc Winsheimer, Head of Social Commitment at Sparkasse.

The Jazzchor Freiburg is grateful for this successful cooperation!

 

Jazzchor Freiburg presents its new music video "Pools" by Steps Ahead. It tells the origin story of the famous painting "Pools with 2 jazzchor Figures", which recently sold for a record sum. This video was made possible by the many generous crowdfunders who donated last June. A big thank you to all supporters!

The legendary New York Voices come to Freiburg to share the stage with Jazzchor Freiburg. Two times 30 years of top-class vocal jazz: The "Voices" are considered to be the leading jazz vocal quartet that has traveled almost all over the world and worked with artists such as the Count Basie Orchestra and Paquito d’Riviera. This ensemble has always been an inspiration for the award-winning Jazzchor Freiburg, which has so far given concerts in 15 countries in Europe and Asia with its “unique” programs. In addition, projects with Bobby McFerrin, Torun Eriksen and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra kept opening new musical doors for the choir. For the anniversary, the Freiburgers - with Junior and Senior Jazzchor - and New Yorkers can be heard on the same evening, individually and together.
