Welcome to the gay men's chorus
SOORTEN & M|A|T|E|N

Soorten & Maten* is the first and only gay men's chorus of Twente, the Dutch region around Enschede (NL), next to the German border. Currently the choir has 15 singers, from Enschede, Hengelo, de Lutte, Oldenzaal and Eibergen: 3 high tenors, 5 low tenors, 4 baritones and 3 basses. The choir rehearses on Thursday nights above the gay café Stonewall in Enschede.

The repertoire mainly consists of 3- or 4-part songs with piano accompaniment. And it is very diverse: from classical songs for male voice choir to musical and pop.

In 2025 Soorten & Maten will have it's 10th anniversary and that will be celebrated in a grand way. So please mark Friday evening April 11th 2025 in your diary for our festive birthday concert. And vist our agenda.

*) The name Soorten & Maten is a wordplay. Literally translated it means 'Sorts & Sizes'. (Men come in all sorts and sizes😉). But in Dutch Maten is also 'mates', and 'musical bars'.

Sadly the rest of our website is in Dutch only. Our apologies! Maybe try using Google Translate?
