Recreation

Everyone who enjoys singing is invited to join the FIT Choir. Not only students and FIT staff, but also guests from Hermannsburg and the surrounding area are welcome to sing with us!

The leadership of the choir is in the hands of Mr. Eike Formella, a very experienced and enthusiastic musician.

Due to the Corona pandemic, the choir is not active at the moment. As soon as it starts again, the dates of the choir rehearsals will be anounced here.

Contact for questions regarding the choir is Prof. Dr. Gabriele Beckmann.
