Sing together, arrive, and fill Thursday with sound
The open choir Kanti invites you to a musical break in the Interim Central Library Cologne, right in the city center. On Thursday, September 10, 2026, singers will gather on Hohe Straße to sing together without prior knowledge and to experience the special event atmosphere of the library.
A choir that is truly open
Kanti is seen as a participatory offer for everyone who brings joy to music and community. According to the city library, the name means 'to sing' in Esperanto. This is exactly what it’s about here: a low-threshold event experience, audience mood without fear of barriers, and a musical format that brings together people from various backgrounds.
Music meets library flair
The venue at Hohe Straße 68-82 offers several floors, learning and workspaces, as well as an environment that cleverly combines culture and everyday life. The choir takes place in the event area on the 1st floor. This creates a calm, focused atmosphere while also providing a lively space where voices, encounters, and acoustics come together.
Conveniently accessible
Getting there is easy via the Heumarkt stop, which is just a few minutes' walk away. The entrance area is wheelchair accessible, and there is also an elevator in the building. The library is open on Thursday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and the choir session runs from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM. Registration by email is desired but not mandatory.
Voices from the community
The Cologne City Library has been presenting the choir Kanti for years as an open offer for anyone who wants to sing together. The official channels primarily showcase a warm, culture-oriented environment around the library and its events.
Conclusion: A free music event filled with warmth and community
Chor Kanti connects shared singing, open participation, and the special character of an urban cultural address. Those seeking music without performance pressure but with genuine encounters will experience a relaxed morning full of atmosphere here. It's best to come by live and feel the rehearsal for yourself.
