What we do
The repertoire of DIE FIXEN NIXEN • DER CHOR is diverse! Widely contrasting works are an integral part of the programme: from renaissance and baroque pieces, to cool pop. From German and Georgian folk and lullabies to modern composers such as the Finn Einojuhani Rautavaara and the Belarusian Oxana Omelchuk.
4 Centimetres | Scenic concert
4 centimeters - thats's roughly how little space the published choral works of females composers takes up on the shelf, if you put the music sheets next to each other. The meager size is in stark contrast to the published choral works of male colleagues, which can fill about 7 meters of shelf space. DIE FIXEN NIXEN • DER CHOR thinks that this urgently needs to change. As part of their scenic concert »4 Centimeters« they present classical and modern female composers and ensure more space on the shelf with the world premiere of new compositions by two internationally active musicians.
»4 Centimeters« is a music project funded by the Berlin Choral Association and the German Composers' Association, which premiered in Berlin in autumn 2022 in collaboration with the theater maker Nina Gühlstorff.
