Moin! Welcome on our webpage. 

Spring is in full swing. And Soorten & Maten also burst with new energy.
With excitement we look foreward to the biggest event this year: June 24-28th:
Various Voices Brussels!

Soorten & Maten* is the first and only gay men's chorus from Twente, the Dutch region around Enschede (NL) next to the German border. Currently the choir has 17 singers, from Enschede, Hengelo, de Lutte, Oldenzaal and Eibergen: 4 high tenors,
4 low tenors, 4 baritones and 5 basses. The choir rehearses on Thursday evenings above 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 turned 10 years old and that was celebrated in a grand way. Undoubtedly the peak of the festivities was the sold-out birthday concert DURVEN DROMEN (Dare to Dream) on April 11th, in theater Concordia in Enschede.

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

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