Experience the magic of singing together with your team

Choir at Work is a new initiative by Consensus Vocalis to encourage singing together and its many positive effects within organizations.

The choral singing workshops are led by professional musicians from Consensus Vocalis and are not only designed to learn to sing together, but also provide extra bonding, creativity, health and happiness in the team.

Consensus Vocalis

The professional vocal ensemble Consensus Vocalis gives concerts and performances throughout the country from a solid base in the east of the Netherlands. It has a unique sound that can be recognized in everything: clear, fresh, expressive, intense and full of dedication. From a cappella choral music to symphonic works, from opera to (youth) music theater and from renaissance to contemporary repertoire: Consensus Vocalis is exceptionally versatile.

Imre Ploeg

Composer and conductor Imre Ploeg (1990) is artistic director of Consensus Vocalis and connects (choral) music to other art disciplines and to social developments and initiatives. He graduated summa cum laude from the Music Teacher course at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and was taught by, among others, composers Huub de Vriend and Kurt Bikkembergs and conductors Jos Vermunt, Fokko Oldenhuis and Rob Vermeulen. He also followed the application course for Choir Conducting at the Utrecht University of Applied Sciences.

Béni Csillag

Béni Csillag is choirmaster of Consensus Vocalis. Béni: ‘From our first collaboration I feel a genuine connection with this great ensemble. For me, the chorus is defined by the intensity and clarity of the choral sound – by the humanity that it expresses. I feel at home in that and it gives me a wonderful foundation to build on, both musically and in the artistic choices we make together for now and the future.

In the press

La Traviata – 2017
‘De Nederlandse Reisopera imponeert met een door regisseur Floris Visser psychologisch sterk uitgewerkte, muzikaal frisse productie van Verdi’s opera La traviata. Het koor Consensus Vocalis zingt Verdi’s verrukkelijke koorscènes fris, scherp op de tel en welluidend.’
NRC
4/5
Bruid te Koop! – 2022
‘Flashy choral scenes ignited by spring fever and strong vocal performances.’
Volkskrant
5/5
Lev – 2019, Theater Sonnevanck en Silbersee – ‘Convincing plea’
‘Sonnevanck and Silbersee once again present a convincing plea for music theatre for everyone, and thanks to the contribution of Consensus Vocalis, the group scenes immediately involve the entire audience.’
Theaterkrant
Bruid te Koop! – 2022
‘A palm of honor goes to the fantastic and very intelligible singing choir Consensus Vocalis.’
Place de l’Opéra
Das Wunder der Heliane – 2023
‘In de derde akte zwelt het volume nog eens behoorlijk aan doordat de opkomst van het roerige volk het Kammerstück verandert in een kooropera. Zeer goed verzorgde bijdrage van het koor Consensus Vocalis.’
Basia con Fuoco
Die Zauberflöte – 2023
‘Alles bij elkaar opgeteld biedt de Reisopera in de pure vorm een solide ‘Zauberflöte’ aan. Bezoekers van de uitvoeringen door heel Nederland hoeven zich niet bekocht te voelen omdat het ‘maar’ een semi-scènische presentatie betreft. De vele open doekjes van het premièrepubliek bevestigden dat.’
