Draft:Nijmegen Student Choir Alphons Diepenbrock

The Nijmegen Student Choir Alphons Diepenbrock (Dutch: Nijmeegs Studentenkoor Alphons Diepenbrock or NSKAD) is a student choir from Nijmegen. The choir has a classical repertoire and aims to introduce its members to as many types of classical music from different eras as possible. The choir consists mainly of (former) students and employees of Radboud University Nijmegen and the HAN University of Applied Sciences. In the last few years, the number of international students has increased considerably, and the working language is therefore English.

Activities
Throughout the year, the choir works towards two major concerts: the winter and the summer concert. A varied classical repertoire is performed, in recent years mainly accompanied by organ or piano. This generally takes place in a church in Nijmegen, nowadays mostly in the Groenestraatkerk.

The choir also regularly performs at other events. For instance, it regularly performs at Nijmegen Klinkt, a music festival hosted in various locations around Nijmegen. It is also regularly asked to perform at the opening of the academic year or the Dies Natalis of the Radboud University. Small Christmas performances are also often planned during the Christmas period.

In 2023, the choir was also invited to participate in the pop duo Clean Pete's first Classical Revue in Nijmegen.

When the choir was considerably larger, a smaller project choir was also formed and had their own concerts.

After both choir and orchestra were restarted after the Second World War, in 1952 the they split up, with the choir forming what is now Nijmeegs Studentenkoor Alphons Diepenbrock and the orchestra renaming itself to.
