Fundraising & Relationship Management Manager

A little about us, the Netherlands Chamber Choir

The Netherlands Chamber Choir

Since its founding in 1937, (NKK) has been synonymous with innovation. We push the boundaries

in the choral music genre. We facilitate encounters—between genres,

across sectors, between people. We do this because we believe that as

artists play a role in bringing people together and offering new

perspectives, adding nuance. We believe in a world where

vulnerability is a strength and connection is a given. And choral singing

does exactly that: it connects people, using the most vulnerable and

the human voice, a magnificent instrument on Earth.

Annually

we give about 80 concerts in the U.S. and abroad: from Lincoln Center in New

From York City to the Taipei Performing Arts Center, from the Konzerthaus in Vienna to

TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, our home city. Our high-profile traineeship for

NKK NXT, a program for young professional singers, has been a resounding success. Our workshops

and masterclasses for amateur singers and companies are wonderful

recruitment opportunities. We’re also innovating digitally, with great formats like The

Personal Archive Sessions.
