Singing, all together!
Conductor Tom Erics created the choir Echo in 2017, named after the Greek nimf Echo. With the success that followed, he also created a vocalgroup: Yambé (named after the daughter of Echo). To give all his attention to the musical aspect, Yambé and Echo created a board and became a joint association in 2019: Vocal Association VEYA.
Many people contribute to make VEYA a success, let us introduce you to them:

Committees
The board is supported by several committees, consisting of enthusiastic members:
Music committee
Together with the conductor, the music committee is responsible for the repertoire and other musical tasks of the choir. The members of this committee picks a theme for a concert and the repertoire.
Concert committee
Singing as a choir becomes even better when we can share our enthusiasm with others. The concert committee organises small gigs and bigger concerts. This means selecting the type of concerts, finding a location, thinking about dresscodes/decorations, etc.
Social committee
We all love singing, that’s what brings us together. However, it is also nice to get to know your fellow singers in another way. Therefore, the social committee organizes different activities, such as drinks after a rehearsal or a potluck.
Financial committee
Our treasurer is responsible for keeping track of our finances and the financial committee supports them with this process. The committee checks the budget every (half)year.
