WIR singen – When Neighbours Become Performers

Berlin is home to many talented people. Some sing at home for friends, others play musical instruments, and some have long dreamed of performing in front of a live audience.

WIR singen is a chance to take that step!

The Jury

Who will judge the performances?


The competition entries will be evaluated by a professional jury, which is planned to include musicians, vocal coaches and representatives of the organising team.

The jury will select the finalists based on their preliminary recordings. During the concert, the jury and the audience will jointly decide on the winner.

Christmas Surprise
Tilda Publishing
WIR singen is above all a celebration of creativity and bringing people together. But we’ve prepared a little surprise for all participants!

After the concert, the jury and the audience will jointly select one act – whether a solo performer, a duo or a group. The winner will receive a special prize: the opportunity to record their own piece of music in a professional recording studio!

The detailed judging criteria and voting procedure will be announced closer to the concert date.
