Past projects

Spring semester
2024

We performed at both Musikalischer Abend organized by Musikplattform, organized our own concert, went busking and had the great honor to open the acapella Festival in Pfaeffikon because we won the "Sing dein Ding" Contest!

On top of the performances with the full ensemble we also prepared songs in two subgroups: Iris Trebles and Iris Troubles! Additionally we were joined by very talented friends on the archlute and recorder for true renaissance sound.

And for the big finale, we organized our first Iris weekend with long rehearsals, fun games and a concert at the caring home in Embrach!
