Cappella Amsterdam and Nieuw Vocaal Amsterdam have developed a particularly fruitful collaboration in recent years. The joint singing with Nieuw Vocaal Amsterdam has created an inspiring synergy, making their shared performances not only a testament to artistic professionalism but also to a genuine friendship and a shared love for choral music.
Nieuw Vocaal Amsterdam was founded in 2005 by Caro Kindt under the name “Nieuw Amsterdams Kinderkoor” and has since grown into a high-quality independent vocal education with 300 students ages 4 to 21, and a knowledge institute in the field of children’s and youth choral singing.
The organization has a team of 20 enthusiastic teachers, conductors, and office staff who bring their passion for high-quality music education for children and young people into practice every day.
