Concert by Quartierchor Nachtigall
Quartierchor Nachtigall/Nachtigall Neighborhood Choir
5 July 2026 18:00–18:40
Witches, mermaids, demons and other mythical creatures have populated cultural history for centuries – often as embodiments of the threatening and uncontrollable.
They represent ‘evil’, the powerful and the supernatural; they evoke fear whilst simultaneously marking social boundaries, particularly where deviations from the norm become apparent.
Our programme ‘Witches, Hauntings and Mythical Creatures’ brings together choral works that bring these figures to life through sound and explore their ambiguity. From a feminist perspective, the Quartierchor Nachtigall reinterprets them: as figures who stand for knowledge, strength, transcendence and self-determination.
We, the Quartierchor Nachtigall, are an open-minded amateur choir from Neukölln.
Originally formed in a shared flat’s living room, we have since grown to more than fifty singers and have organised ourselves as an association. Our repertoire is a colourful mix of classical, pop and international folk songs, often with political themes. In addition to our self-organised concerts, we also help shape cultural life in Neukölln.

Biography
Quartierchor Nachtigall/Nachtigall Neighborhood Choir
We are the Nachtigall Neighborhood Choir, an open-minded amateur choir from Neukölln.
Originally formed in the living room of a shared apartment, we have since grown to more than fifty singers and have organized ourselves as an association.
Our repertoire is a colorful mix of classical, pop, and international folk songs, often with political and feminist themes.
In addition to our self-organized concerts, we also help shape cultural life in Neukölln by performing at street festivals, events like 48 Stunden Neukölln, and have even appeared on stage with the ensemble Glanz & Krawall.
We rehearse on Mondays at the Brüdergemeine and are currently looking for new bass and tenor voices in particular.
