Collonge
The Califrenzies choir was founded 25 years ago. It is based in Geneva in the commune of Collonge-Bellerive, which supports it. It currently has 34 members, all of whom sing seriously but for pleasure. It is a member of the Union des Chanteurs Genevois, the Fédération des Chœurs Genevois and the Union Suisse des Chorales.
Directed by Franz Josefovski, our three-voice choir (soprano 1, soprano 2 and alto) sings a mainly French-language repertoire.
Our choir director makes most of our vocal arrangements, and for the past two years we’ve been working with professional musician Christian Goza, who provides tailor-made musical accompaniment.
