The chorus has around 40 members aged between 7 and 60 (ish) and gives opportunity to people with treble-voices to sing and perform who otherwise may not be able to participate due to the demands of young families, busy jobs and busy lives. We want to bring the wonderful, positive mental health benefits of singing and music to as many people as possible. Blingmasters’ aim is to be a force for good in the world, and give our singers an outlet to have fun, enjoy singing and meet nice people.

Building Bridges is a women’s choir. Fifty women rehearse once a month under the direction of Wil Saenen at a central location in the Netherlands. Our members come from all over the country. The main goal of BBC is to participate in conventions in the Netherlands and abroad. Our monthly rehearsals are aimed at studying the songs we bring to these conventions. Gradually, we have also been able to build a beautiful and varied repertoire. Since our start in 2018, we have participated in conventions of Holland Harmony, IABS in Killarney, and Biba in Calpe. We were also once the guest choir at BING! in Dortmund. Our participation in the European convention in Helsingborg has been our dream since our founding, and we are very happy to be here.

Some time ago, our conductor announced that she would stop being a barbershop conductor after 35 years. This season will therefore be a very special season for BBC. We participated in the Holland Harmony convention, and after our participation in Helsingborg, we will give a spectacular farewell concert to our beloved conductor. Our future? We are incredibly happy to have found a highly competent successor. So as far as we are concerned: we’ll meet again.
