The Sing Geneva Choir started in 2021 just after lockdown, when Chloe Minost started a small private choir of 4 friends who wanted to sing together for fun. Since then, our choir has grown to over 70 people from all over the world, rehearsing in Eaux-Vives on a Monday and Thursday night and performing all over Geneva at the end of each term.
All arrangements are original and our repertoire, mainly popular tracks in English with repertoire spanning folk, pop, indie, rock and motown.
Our choir is for everyone and anyone and purely for the joy of singing - we are non-audition and we learn by ear so there is no barrier to join.
“My favourite thing about singing and leading a choir is the togetherness it brings. More than anything, I love bringing voices together to discover and be amongst a sound that we create together. There is no other feeling like it.” Chloe Minost, founder and Musical Director.
