Originally The Embassy Singers, the Bonn English Singers formed after the British
Embassy moved to Berlin in 1999. The choir was first directed by Stephen Harrap, by
Fraser Gartshore, by Illona Popova, and now again by the renowned composer and
conductor Stephen Harrap.
We specialise in English-language choral music, both sacred and secular. The choir
performs regularly in and around Bonn and is best known for its traditional
Christmas services and concerts.

Shakespeare - An
Evening of Theatre and
Choral Music
The Bonn English
Singers & The
Bonn University Shakespeare Company
In cooperation with the Bonn University Shakespeare Company we will perform Shakespeare’s most
inspiring, romantic or heart-wrenching monologues, dialogues and sonnets.
The performance will weave together the timeless poetry and drama of Shakespeare with the rich
harmonies
and evocative melodies of choral music, creating an immersive experience that transcends the
boundaries
of
time and language. Each piece has been carefully selected to showcase the breadth of human emotion and
the
enduring relevance of Shakespeare‘s words.
Join us for an unforgettable evening where
literature and music meet, offering a
fresh perspective on the genius of William
Shakespeare. Whether you are a long-time
admirer of the Bard or new to his work, this
unique blend of theatre and choral music
will leave you with a renewed appreciation
for the power of his storytelling.
