Working with Choirs
Som do Brasil
The Chor Som do Brasil is Freiburg’s Brazilian choir.
With songs from the versatile and rich treasure of musica popular brasileira – MPB, the choir’s mission is to keep alive the Brazilian culture, language, and zest for life.
Roberta Springer is the choir’s musical director and accompanist since 2016. “I look forward to our weekly meetings – a place to get in touch with my Brazilian musical roots, sing our life’s stories and renew all batteries.”
