Sought & Found
EKBC's search for a new musical director ended with considerable success. Matthias Neuburger, long-time and now outgoing director says: "I am enormously pleased that the chorus has chosen Andrea Figallo as my successor."
We are pleased to welcome the new year with a thoroughly refurbished website and hope that it will be as attractive to you as it is to us. Instead of extensive menus, buttons and images are available that lead to detail pages. Important links can also be found in the footer of all pages.
Our website is to be constantly updated with new information. Completing the self-portrayal of our member choruses and quartets will also take some time, but will offer you something new again and again during future visits. We have also planned some additional features, such as a web shop.
All BinG! members have a user account in this environment. It is also possible to create an account for non-members and is recommended, for example if you want to avoid re-entering your personal data again and again when shopping in the (future) web shop. A user account can also ease data entry when registering for public events. Last but not least, it can form the basis for a personal membership with BinG!
We thoroughly tested our platform before commissioning. Nevertheless, we cannot rule out the possibility that errors have remained unnoticed or that the use of our platform is not as intuitive as we would like it to be. In such cases, please email webmaster@barbershop.de if you do not have an account. Otherwise, please create a support ticket after signing in.
Of course, we are also looking forward to your suggestions if you miss information or functions.

Grunts come from the rehearsal room. A crow "answers" from outside. Truly unusual sounds produced by EKBC singers and singer friends. But it's all in good fun: Kerstin Greaves, singer, coach and certified CVT trainer, asked to try out sound effects like have been systematically described in the "Complete Vocal Technique".
We are the "Erster Kölner Barbershop Chor" and have also successfully participated in the casting of the Best Choir in the West. Nevertheless we are not looking for the first best!
We like to spice up our performances with the Cologne way of life and a lot of humor. Nevertheless, we are seriously searching!
The BinG! quartett "Klangsurfer" will sing January 29th 2022 (subject to the pandemic) at the Zurich ACAPELLA NIGHT, Volkshaus Zürich (Weißer Saal).
Come over or tell your Swiss friends and relatives!
Wer kennt nicht das Problem, bei virtuellen Chorproben das Tempo zu halten? Gemeint sind hier nicht Einweg-Sessions mit einer Videokonferenz-Software wie z.B. Zoom oder Jitsi, sondern echtes Miteinander-Singen auf der Basis von Jamulus.
