	ate Choir Amsterdam organises monthly rehearsals. We\npractice protest son
	gs that we sing during climate actions and other events.\nMusic offers us 
	comfort. It is a creative outlet for frustrations. It is a way\nto create 
	something beautiful as a group\, driven by our desire to make the world\na
	 better and more beautiful place. Led by conductor Blue Dog (Matthias Kone
	cny)\,\nyou will learn protest songs used to inspire people to do better f
	or Mother\nEarth. We are part of a national network of choirs (klimaatkore
	n.nl\n[http://klimaatkoren.nl/]).\n\n\nFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS\n\nDo I 
	need to read sheet music to join? No. Our choir has no entry requirements.
	\nAnyone who loves singing and Mother Earth is welcome. Sheet music is pro
	vided\,\nbut we also work with audio files so you can practice songs by ea
	r. We do sing\npolyphonic (multi-part) repertoire\, so if you don’t have m
	uch experience\, you\nare expected to practice the pieces and try to impro
	ve. It’s like playing\nfootball: our club sets no prerequisites\, but we d
	o occasionally play a match\,\nso it helps if the team wants to score. If 
	I join\, do I have to block the A12\nhighway? No. As an action choir\, we 
	participate in all kinds of protests\,\ndemonstrations\, and other events.
	 From singing during the Climate Wake\n(klimaatwake-amsterdam.nl [http://k
	limaatwake-amsterdam.nl/]) to Extinction\nRebellion actions where risk of 
	arrest is possible. It is ALWAYS your own choice\nwhat you do or do not pa
	rticipate in. For every action\, we communicate clearly\nin advance whethe
	r you might face any risks. That being said: if activism isn’t\nyour thing
	 at all\, a different choir might be a better fit. If you’re unsure\,\nyou
	 are very welcome to come drop by\, get a feel for the atmosphere\, and se
	e if\nthe Climate Choir is right for you! Can I join if I don’t live in Am
	sterdam?\nYes\, but do check klimaatkoren.nl [http://klimaatkoren.nl/] to
