Die Chorleiter

Every year, the BinG! Harmony College requires a great deal of organization, loads of time and lots of know-how. Fortunately, we've always been able to find dedicated, diligent helpers, who provide for a structured concept, detailed preparation, and keep everything running smoothly. Most of this happens in the background.

We'd like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce the 2019 team:
Simone Knoop:
Lead Organizer, Planning & Execution
Live! Love! Learn! Laugh! … & Sing!
Wonderful experiences, touching peoples heart, learning & improving beyond your imagination, inspiring each other, laughing full of joy ... and singing together: Barbershop offers and means so much to me and has changed my life. It is my pleasure to give back to our barbershop family, by organizing the Harmony College, where we can experience and enjoy all of this together.
Silke Ostendarp:
Faculty & Planning
I caught the barbershop bug 30 years ago, and ever since I have been incurably addicted – not only to these wonderful harmonies and overtones, but also to this truly special community and the feeling of belonging unique to barbershoppers. Through my involvement with BinG! and with the Harmony College team, especially, I would like to do my part to inspire even more people to sing with us, and to offer them the best opportunities for training by bringing in top-flight coaches and interesting coaches every year.
Franziska Dickhut:
Housing & PR
Barbershop manages to bring together people from all kinds of backgrounds, to create a harmonious and positive atmosphere, and to immediately make everyone feel that they are part of a community. This community is especially great at BinG!, and it’s an unparalleled honor and joy to be part of this family.
Hélène Moëlo:
Participants Support
Does it always have to be barbershop? I love all kinds of music. Soft, loud, strident ... as long as it‘s GOOD! I joined the Harmony College team because I want to keep such events alive and growing. My task? Sorting, search, finding, and getting the singers everything they need. I help with registration where I can, and take care of the marvelous songs we will be singing in the choruses. Indeed ... but no – tormenting me will get you nowhere! I’m incorruptible! I won’t say a word!
À bientôt pour chanter un “Tag”!
Julia Moldenhauer:
Finances & link to Bing! Board
I wouldn't want to miss the experience I had last year as a member of the Harmony College team. I have grown a lot and am happy to work with such great and creative people. The Harmony College is for me the heart and soul of our association and I am proud to be a part of the engine.
Alexander Kulessa:
Evening- & Show Program
After being the spotlight with Kavaliersdelikt for many years, it’s time for me me to see the other side of the Harmony College and to set up the stage for new and old starlets in the best possible way.
Mareike Meise:
Travelplanning Faculty
For 14 years I have been singing with the Harmunichs, where I had my first contact with barbershop. Since then I’ve succumbed to barbershop fever: in addition to various quartets, I also joined the No Borders Show Chorus 4 years ago. About Barbershop I enjoy the most that it is an international community. At all of the many conventions and choruses I have visited, I have always received a warm welcome. Since I love to travel myself, it is my pleasure to take on the task of organizing the travel for our coaches.

The Barbershop Music Festival inspired guests from near and far in Munich. 3 days of pure musical and optical fireworks, just like the motto "Pure A Cappella - Pure Power".
More information can be found here.
In response to popular demand, we have now published the regulations for the competitions conducted by BinG! We have also begun to make available the results of our past quartet and chorus competitions - both nationally and internationally. The collection here will of course be contually expanded.
Since recently there are great shirts and other merchandise to order for the Barbershop Music Festival. With the flashy logo of this year's event, the shirt is an eye-catcher everywhere.
Not a BinG! event, but nevertheless highly recommended: Ringmasters and Hör Bänd, young talent comedy a-cappella band from Hannover, will perform at the Humboldtsaal Freiburg on January 23, 2018. The concert was organized by Jazzchor Freiburg and materialized at a really short notice.
