The Black Choir Cologne is a self-organised initiative by Black people from the African diaspora living in Cologne. As a community-based project, the choir seeks to empower Black individuals and foster connection through the power of voice.
Musically, the Black Choir Cologne offers a vibrant and moving blend of gospel, soul, and jazz. With powerful a cappella arrangements and heartfelt performances, they not only showcase a rich repertoire but also celebrate the depth, resilience, and beauty of Black musical traditions.
More than just a choir, the Black Choir Cologne is a living, breathing community—one that uplifts, inspires, and unites through music, with passion, energy, and purpose.
