Music at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences
The Esslingen University would like to contribute to the de-escalation of the rapid spread of the Corona Virus, as well as protect all members of the University. For these reasons, until further notice all rehearsals and concerts will be cancelled until 19 April.
There is in-fact online rehearsal. Orchestra, choir, and bandleader Steffi Bade Bräuning will create varying rehearsal-programs for all sections.
In addition, all members of the three groups will offer their part for the initiative “musicians for Germany” by creating a contribution via the University Music for the local cultural scene, in a gesture of solidarity for those who currently are unable to sing.

University Choir
Sing_Uni
Every year a new musical – that is the motivation for the singers of SING_UNI. The small but select choir premieres a tailor-made musical every year – composed by its own author – that fits the members perfectly. The members take on the solo and choral parts and also design and create the stage scenery.
Rehearsals:
Wednesdays, 19:00 - 20:30 in the Aula on the Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse 101, regularly during semesters
Director:
Senior lecturer Steffi Bade-Braeuning
PEP Band
University's little band
The University’s little band with the big sound has made a name for itself through its performances during the Kandelmarsch Student Parade and in the musicals staged by SING_UNI. Like the University Orchestra and SING_UNI, the band is composed of students, school students, former students and friends of the University.
We stage jazz classics, rock and pop and are looking for saxophonists and trumpeters as well as a bassist.
Rehearsals:
Thursdays, 19:45 – 21:15 in the Aula on the Hilltop Campus, Flandernstrasse 101, regularly during semesters
