On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Groot Omroepkoor, the jubilee book 'Stemgeluiden' has been published, written by Oswin Schneeweisz.

75 years of the Groot Omroepkoor's history is bundled in eight very readable chapters about the pioneering years, golden times, conductors and milestones. With a personal afterword by Benjamin Goodson, the current principal conductor of Groot Omroepkoor. The book is interspersed with interviews, (historical) photographs, reviews and various archive material.

Oswin Schneeweisz (Bregenz, Austria) is a journalist, publicist and editor-in-chief of ZINGmagazine, among other things. As a music critic for the Algemeen Dagblad and Theaterkrant, he has followed many concerts by the Groot Omroepkoor since 1986.

We are the best choir in the Gooi region'. That winged statement has been going around for decades among the members of the Groot Omroepkoor. It is an ironic understatement for the only professional broadcasting choir in Europe. You might say it is the Formula 1 of broadcasting choirs. Oswin Schneeweisz delved into the remarkable history of the Groot Omroepkoor. 75 years GOK: 75 years in which the Groot Omroepkoor has developed into a vital company with its own identity. A unique company with a large dose of adventurous spirit for the future, an eye for the present and respect for the past.
