‘Het Amsterdams Studentenprojectkoor’ (ASPK) is a choir for students and other young adults that focuses on humorous classical music repertoire. The aim of our association is to get our members and audience acquainted with lesser known genres of theatrical classical music and most of all have fun with our productions. We rehearse the music every Monday evening and stage the piece during rehearsal weekends with our stage director. Every project is a great human adventure! Our projects have been operettas from various composers: Gilbert and Sullivan, Federico Chueco, Jacques Offenbach… Anybody is invited to join, with or without singing or theatre experience. For an additional challenge, you can audition for a solo role during the project. Feel free to browse on our website if you would like to know more about our past and current projects!
On a practical note, it is good to know that we work with librettos translated in Dutch (speaking and singing text). The reason is that most of our audience and participants are Dutch speakers. Performing in our native language helps us to stay spontaneous in our acting and makes our work accessible and appealing to a wider audience. However, we have had many non-Dutch participants in all of our project (some of them even performed solo roles). Our conductor and stage director are both fluent in English. With some additional effort, non-Dutch members are generally able to follow along and participate, and improve their Dutch in the process! So even if you are a non-Dutch speaker, you are very welcome to join us. If you have any questions or if you need help figuring out our Dutch website, don’t hesitate to shoot us an email at aspk.operette@gmail.com.
