Welcome to the website of Groninger Student Music Association Bragi!

G.S.M.G. Bragi is the largest and oldest student music association in Groningen. The association was founded in 1882 and has approximately 100 members, who are divided into three sections: the symphony choir, the orchestra and the a cappella choir. Each section rehearses weekly and works on three programs each academic year, each season being concluded with several concerts. Our year is filled with rehearsal weekends, drinks, parties and many other fun (musical) activities!

Fauré Requiem

Orchestra

Saturday 31 October
Location: St. Willibrordus Church, Sappemeer

On Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Bragi orchestra—joined by the Fauré project choir—will perform Fauré’s Requiem twice, at 3:30 PM and 7:30 PM, under the direction of conductor Wim van de Laar at the St. Willibrordus Church in Sappemeer.

This Requiem is a beautiful, moving, and highly cherished musical work. For years, it has consistently ranked in the top 5 of the “Classical Top 400” (Klassieke Top 400) on NPO-Klassiek. The concert will also feature performances by Dvinochok and Vognyk—two premier choirs from Kyiv—who will present a selection of exquisite religious music and spirited folk music.

What is Bragi?

The association was founded in 1882 (therefore we are over 140 years old!) and has around 100 members, divided over 3 ensembles: the symphony choir, orchestra and a-capella choir. With this, we are the oldest and biggest student music association in Groningen. Every ensemble has weekly rehearsals, usually seperately, though the orchestra and symphony choir join up towards the end of the season to rehearse their piece(s) together. 

Hire an ensemble or choir for an occasion?

It is possible to hire an ensemble from Bragi!

This can be a string quartet, but also a chamber choir or other chamber ensembles.
