Chr. Oratorium vereniging Ridderkerk
More than 52 times played this month
The Chr. Oratorio Association 'Ridderkerk' was founded on 17 November 1919 under the name
'Chr.Gemengd-Ridderkerks Zangkoor'. In its 75 years of existence, the choir has had both good and bad periods. Since May 1966, when Frans van Tilburg became conductor, there has been an upward trend. Under the enthusiastic leadership of Frans van Tilburg, the choir grew to a large number of members (currently 120) and a good singing quality.
In 1974, the choir joined the Oratorio Associations group of the
Kon.Chr.Zangersbond and in 1981 the current name was adopted. In the last 20 years, various oratorios and other large works have been performed. In addition, the lesser works and the sacred song also remain part of the program.
