Das gemeinsame Singen mag in früheren Zeiten wesentlich mehr in der Gesellschaft verankert gewesen sein als heutzutage. Doch populär ist es nach wie vor. Womit wir bei genau jenem Stichwort sind – „populär“ – das eine ganze Wortkette der Assoziationen in Gang bringt: Populäre Musik. Pop. Und Pop-Chor. Unser Pop-Chor, den wir für die Young Stage Academy gegründet haben, heißt Young Voices und vereint herausragende Gesangstalente der Stadt.
Die Young Voices treffen sich regelmäßig, singen sich mit eigens für sie arrangierten Pop-Songs die Seele aus dem Leib und werden geleitet von einer, die weiß, wie es geht: Ji-In Cho. Die Leverkusener Sängerin tourte mit ihrer Rockband Krypteria bereits durch zig Länder und spielte auf Festivalbühnen, vor denen Zehntausende Fans standen.
Sie gibt regelmäßig Gesangsunterricht. Und bereitet nun die Young Voices auf deren erstes Konzert vor großer Kulisse vor. Im Großen Saal des Forums treten sie gemeinsam mit einem vom Leverkusener Musiker und Musiklehrer Niklas Genschel geleiteten Projektchor auf.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Venue
How do I get to Forum Leverkusen?
The Forum Leverkusen is centrally located in the Wiesdorf district, making it easy to get there quickly and hassle-free. It is just a short walk from Leverkusen-Mitte railway station and the Wiesdorf bus station. We therefore recommend travelling by bus or train. For those arriving by car: the Forum has its own multi-storey car park with 380 spaces. However, the car park at the Forum fills up quickly, particularly during major events. If there is already a traffic jam before the entrance to the underground car park, please make sure to use one of the other car parks in the immediate vicinity.
Further information is available on the Forum’s website.

Can I bring my coat into the event?
Not in all cases. To ensure that all guests can evacuate quickly in the event of an emergency, the following items MUST NOT be brought into the Forum’s event rooms: Winter coats and jackets, large travel bags and rucksacks, booster seats and cushions (unfortunately, due to the folding mechanism of the seats, medical seat cushions are also not permitted in the Great Hall), pushchairs and walking frames, and other items (such as umbrellas) that could pose a tripping hazard. You are welcome to leave these items at the cloakroom. For events organised by the City of Leverkusen, Culture and City Marketing, this service is free of charge. For other events, the cloakroom fee is €1.50.
Is there catering available at the events held in the Forum?
Yes. For larger events at the Forum, our caterer provides delicious snacks or fresh finger food, as well as refreshing drinks. This allows visitors to enjoy a bite to eat or a speciality coffee even before the event begins. After the event, there is usually an opportunity to raise a glass with a refreshing drink. Further information is available on the Forum’s website.
