Corps d'Esprit is a Rotterdam chamber choir led by conductor Sanda Audere. Our repertoire ranges from Early Music to contemporary classic compositions. We continuously work on our development: in vocal technique, choral sound, intonation, and musical experience. The choir has 32 members — eight singers per voice part — and gives several concerts annually in Rotterdam and beyond.
