King Betty Queer Christmas Choir
In 2008 ProGay (the organizer of the Amsterdam Pride) organized the first Pink Christmas in Amsterdam. A cultural and festive Christmas program throughout the city with a pink touch. It turned out to be a success, because this year Pink Christmas is back! From 17 December until the 27th. A wonderful extra this year is that ProGay actively includes activities aimed on LesBian women and transgenders, promoting an LGBT Christmas. One of the activities during Pink Christmas is a Pink Christmas Choir Festival on December 18th. King Betty wants to underline the LGBT vision by joining this festival with a Queer choir. A choir that distinguishes itself from the other choirs by being a gender mixed choir with humorous (musical like) performance aspects.
What is a choir without singers/performers? This is where King Betty needs your help. You don’t have to be a Whitney Houston or Freddy Mercury to join our choir; we are just looking for enthusiastic people who are eager to go on stage and sing out the Christmas spirit.
This Sunday (22 November) we will have our first rehearsal, where we will warm up our vocal qualities for the Christmas medley. After this first rehearsal we will decide how many rehearsals (probably about 2 or 3) are necessary to practice the performance and perfect our act.
If you are interested in joining the King Betty Queer Christmas choir, please send an e-mail to kingbetty2nd@gmail.com, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the exact location and attached the lyrics to the Christmas medley.
Warm regards,
On behalf of the King Betty team,
Dewi Vrenegoor
p.s. the Choir is also looking for a (substitute) pianist, so if you are one or know one, please let us know!
