Förderung des Chores der Universität Bielefeld

Music connects people.
Music knows no national borders.
Music appeals to our senses.
Everyone feels the rhythm.

The Andreas-Mohn-Foundation supports the Bielefeld University Choir.

The young choir director Dorothea Bödeker-Schenk has been leading the choir since 2006.
Previously, Prof. Dr. Hümmeke led the choir.

Ms Bödeker-Schenk introduces the students to music.
The choir has about 90 members.
She guides them with great ease to musical excellence.

The choir has already sung many well-known works:

- Requiems by Mozart and Verdi

- Te Deum by Bruckner

- Lobgesang by Mendelssohn

- Messiah by Handel

- Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach

When we called the university to say that we wanted to support the choir, everyone was very surprised.
Ms Bödeker-Schenk was so happy that she was speechless at first.

Normally, choirs have to look for sponsors.
In our case, it was different: we approached the choir.
The choir exudes joie de vivre and community spirit.
The music brings us joy and touches our hearts.

We are delighted to support the choir and Ms Bödeker-Schenk on a regular basis.
This allows us to enjoy high-quality music every year.
