Open mic, public choirs and karaoke

Most importantly: sing!

Singing brings people together, singing is good for your health and, above all, singing is fun! In Munich, there are several opportunities to sing spontaneously and without pressure. Whether at open-mic events, in public choirs or in the city's karaoke bars – there's the right stage for all amateur singers!

Open Mic: Spontaneous singing or playing music on stage

Go Sing Choir at Strom

The choir project founded in Munich is so popular that the Go Sing Choir is now also available in other cities. If you want to sing along, you should buy a ticket in good time, as the sessions, which bring together several hundred amateur singers, sell out quickly.
