Berufsziel Profichor – Wege und Umwege zu einer komplexen Profession

The professional choir demands peak performance – but how do the careers behind it take shape? This study provides the first biographical analyses of the career paths of professional choir singers. It uncovers learning processes specific to choir singers and uses these findings to develop recommendations for higher education, which has so far given little consideration to the career option of concert choir singing. A well-researched contribution to musician biography research and to professional choral practice, and a must-read for experts in the field, vocal pedagogues, and aspiring singers. As a radio choir singer, educator, and scholar, Franziska Markowitsch offers deep insights into a demanding and rewarding professional field.
