Ootresjoos is a 12-member women’s vocal ensemble, based in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium, under the direction of Petar Çaliç.
The original members met as teenagers in a girls choir which at the time was ranked as one of the top choirs in Belgium. Their shared passion for choral music inspired them to continue singing together as a women’s ensemble after graduating.
The ensemble’s name, Ootresjoos, is the Dutch phonetic spelling of the French autre chose (“something else”). It reflects the wide variety of their repertoire, which ranges from early music to contemporary works, and from classical to jazz, musical theatre, and pop. Ootresjoos always strives for artistic quality, while placing the joy of singing together at the heart of their performances.
They regularly present full-length concerts, often centred around a theme such as film music, Motown or Christmas.
The ensemble is also frequently invited to perform at cultural events, from a Christmas concert at Antwerp Cathedral to the world-famous hot-air balloon festival in their hometown of Sint-Niklaas.
In addition, Ootresjoos is a welcome guest at events organised by cultural institutions, companies, and banks, as well as at more intimate occasions such as anniversaries and private celebrations.
