J-Cappella

The Choir was established in Fall Semester 2007 by Martin Noack, building on a student choir that existed since 2004, and has grown in the last one and a half years both in number of members and performances as well as in quality. Angela Postweiler, who conducted the choir until November 2008 and is now focussing her efforts on her new responsibility as the conductor of the Bremer Domsingschule has created a joyful atmosphere that inspired everybody who likes to sing from all groups of the university - admin, faculty, staff, volunteers, and students. Our first and very successful performance outside campus took place on the 2nd of November 2008, at "Vokal Lokal" a concert series organized by the Kreischorverband Bremen in cooperation with the city library of Bremen. Since then we have performed at numerous on- and off-campus events, including two appearances in the Bremen concert hall "Die Glocke" in November 2009, and January 2010.
For the Fall Semester 2011 J-Cappella's main project is the Christmas concert, which, for the first time, will be in the form of a story, incorporating singing and acting.

We have regular weekly rehearsals (Monday 20:00--22:00, additionally sectionals; Schedule) and have a growing repertoire of international songs from all kinds of different styles. Of course we are also always open for any suggestions. Bring your favorite song from home and we'll try to integrate it.

Music director

Since November 2008 the competent musical leadership lies with Ms. Rucsandra Popescu, a choir teacher who lives in Bremen but completed her education as a choir conductor at the Music University of Bucharest, Romania, as the best graduating student 2004.
