International Choir 10-Year Anniversary

Winter semester 2021/22 was the start of the International Choir’s anniversary year. Since its first Christmas concert held at the International Club ten years ago, our group has grown from 20 to 100 singers.

The anniversary year also saw the creation of “International & Personal”, a series of videos introducing the choir and international singers. Current and former choir members and students from partner universities helped to jointly realize a big video project to “Man in the Mirror”, published on April 12, 2021.
