Saudade choir

Saudade is a chamber choir from Utrecht, The Netherlands. Saudade is also Portuguese for ' a melancholic longing for people and experiences lingering on as treasured memories'. This poetic word embodies the essence of what Chamber Choir Saudade wishes to express with its music: a sense of beauty, nostalgia and transience.

Since its foundation in 1991, Chamber Choir Saudade has developed into a quality amateur choir comprising about twenty singers of ages between 20 and 40. During weekly rehearsals much work is put into 'saudadic' interpretations of the music. The choir combines a determined pursuit of good quality with a keen enjoyment of the joint work on successive musical projects.

Each concert is preceded by a choir weekend devoted to intensive rehearsals and vocalizing exercises, but also to fun and sociability.
