THE CHOIR BOAT

FRIDAY, MAY 30 2025 / SCHIFFLÄNDE BASEL

GALA-DINNER WITH MUSIC
on the choir ship ‘Rhystärn’, embarkation and disembarkation: Schifflände Basel

Duration: 19.30 h – approx. 22.15 h
Boarding: from 19.00 h
Departure: 19.30 h

Enjoy the new programme ‘Blick in d’Wält’ by the ‘Herrenstimmen des Lucerne Boys Choir’, treat yourself to culinary delights from the ship’s chef and glide through the middle of Basel on the choir ship. The combination of choir concert and gala dinner guarantees an entertaining, musically and culinarily highly stimulating evening that touches all the senses.

The ‘Herrenstimmen des Boys Choir Lucerne’ are a small formation of the ‘Boys Choir Lucerne’. The 25 or so singers, aged between 13 and 23, all come from the Lucerne region and have sung in the choir since they were boys. The ‘men’s voices of the Lucerne Boys Choir’ were portrayed on SRF 1’s Kulturplatz programme on the occasion of the 2023 festival and were subsequently the subject of a Sternstunde Musik programme. They have since developed into true show stars and impress with their humour, musicality and charm. They are led by Andreas Wiedmer.

The price (CHF 100) includes an aperitif drink, the 3-course menu (veggie or meat), the performance and the boat trip. Drinks are paid for on the spot.
