Selection from the repetoire
Rock me Amadeus sings music at the intersection of classical and pop. Initially, Rock me Amadeus mainly focused on symphonic pop music, but the repertoire has since broadened. Now, Nederpop, chansons, ballads, and musicals are also part of the repertoire. If Rock me Amadeus sings a pop song, it is always in a special, multi-voice arrangement. When the choir sings classical music, it usually involves well-known, multi-voice pieces.
