All performances are listed on the Calendar of our website. Every performance date is also shared by email with all members of the relevant choir.

If you have not received an email and there is no performance listed on the calendar, then nothing is planned!

A large part of our repertoire comes from suggestions within our community. Every quarter, we hold an online vote, giving members the opportunity to help shape the songs we sing.

Before a song makes it onto the voting list, we carefully research whether it’s a good fit for our choir. Song selection involves balancing multiple factors, including finding arrangements that resonate with both choir members and audiences while also navigating publication costs, licensing fees, and funding requirements. While many popular songs are suggested, some may not have suitable choral arrangements, are too expensive, or no legal performance rights available.

As a community-driven choir, we prioritize connection and inclusivity over perfection. Our song choices span a range of styles and difficulty levels to ensure accessibility for as many members as possible.

We also consider our yearly concert program when selecting repertoire. Factors such as performability, instrumentation, audience participation, and concert themes all play a role in our decisions.

If you’ve found a choral arrangement you’d like us to consider, please share it with your choir representative team or email us directly at info@internationalenglishchoirs.com.

We rely on our members to bring great arrangements to our attention. Each year, we sing 12–15 songs but receive hundreds of suggestions, so while we appreciate every submission, we unfortunately can’t accommodate them all!

Before we can consider a song for voting, it must meet the following criteria to ensure it’s a good fit for our group.

• There needs to be a legal SATB arrangement available for purchase.

• There needs to be a recording of the arrangement so that our members can hear the arrangement and vote on it.

• We do not sing acapella arrangements.

To ensure the choir’s stability, memberships cannot typically be paused for reasons like vacations, busy periods, or business trips.

However, in cases of medical emergencies or short-term hardships, we may offer temporary arrangements to hold your spot without payment.

Your membership secures one of the 60 spots in our choir and helps us plan resources effectively. If you plan to study abroad or travel extensively, you’re welcome to cancel your membership and rejoin later. If the choir is full upon your return, you can join our waitlist, and we’ll notify you when a spot opens up!

Yes, of course! Just keep in mind that our choirs sing modern music that is protected by GEMA licensing fees. This means that either the organizer of the concert, or IEC, would need to pay the GEMA fees, which are calculated differently for each performance. For this reason, it is rare that we are able to perform at church concerts, school concerts, senior homes, etc. Typically we do events organized by the city (City Festivals, Christmas Markets, etc.)

If you have an idea for a possible concert, please bring it up to you choir committee! You can contact them through your member portal.

Yes! We’re always happy to welcome new people to try out the choir.
