  • Multi-faceted ontology of ”the choir” as situated between art, on the one hand, and society and religion on the other
  • Politics of the choir
  • What hypothesis – or conclusions – are there to be drawn from the particularly flexible nature of the choir, its fascinating and often simultaneous permanence and change?
  • What is the position and meaning of the choir in today’s art forms?
  • Choir as a cultural domain
  • Choir as a musical medium
  • Choirs on/as stage
  • Re-inventing choir?
  • Choir and creative practice
  • Choir and professionals
