21.03.2018: „Thank you so much for your wonderful work, that made our project possible in the first place! It has been such a great pleasure to work with you, your expertise as well as your patience proved to be a core part of the project!"
02.04.2018: „It has become great! Thank you for your high quality and reliable work. We look forward to the rehearsals.“
30.05.2017: „Your pieces are beautifully arranged and challenging.“
30.05.2017: "The chart played beautifully, looks like very nice work to me. Thanks for getting it over in a timely manner. I like the font and the solos look awesome. Thanks again. Can't wait to get the other two charts."
26.06.2017: "It will always be a challenge to bring together players of different skill levels. For this challenge, the fantastic editor Christoph Kalz has set up a voice for each individual player in advance, which has been adapted to the respective requirements and the corresponding skills. As a result, all participants get their individual parts. Some have a reduced voice, others play the original. On the one hand everyone is basically satisfied and on the other hand there are still enough individual challenges."
06.06.2017: „The sheets proved to be perfect and have been appreciated deeply by the listeners.“
29.05.2017: „Your arrangement still inspires us!“
09.01.2013: “Your refined arrangement rocks and has a terrific groove. Quite brave to arrange such a piece for an a cappella choir, we are having a lot of fun with it. Your arrangements are much appreciated”.
21.03.2012: “Dear Mr Kalz, I am lost for words. This is what I call a surprise. Sheer madness for such a short amount of time. Thank you so much. I’m thrilled by your work and can’t wait to try the piece. This commission was in the best of hands”.
07.12.2015: „Dear Christoph, es ist wunderbar! I am really happy! Vielen Dank und auf Wiedersehen“
25.01.2015: “WOW!!!!! My expectations were outdone!! Just brilliant!! I’m delighted! I can hardly contain myself! =D WOW! Really!!! AMAZING!!! I’m ecstatic!! Thanks a million”!!!
30.06.2011: “We are very happy with your arrangements, which are perfectly tailored to us and do justice to our skills. They sound really cool; a cappella style as we love it! And they’re a hit with our audiences too”.
20.08.2010: “Christoph is our musical genius. As ‘the intonator’ he persistently points out to us whenever we are off key and tries to explain the difference between a pure and temperate tune with the 12th root of 2. Apart from his absolute sense of hearing, he keeps impressing us again and again with new arrangements, set up in record time. He is our authority when it comes to humour, live concepts and multimedia”.
25.02.2013: “It was such an honour to work with Christoph. His musical in- and output has been truly enriching and fascinating. His blending, his solos and vocal range, his musicality, his boundless motivation, his high musical and vocal demands on himself and his fellow vocalists and last not least his great sense of humour have given us many good and productive weeks. We fondly think back on our collaboration, he is a fantastic team player! We would happily work together again, anytime”!
18.07.2011: “Congratulations on the piece! And how fast it went! The first impression is really great: How nice to see that you have, once again, created a refreshingly innovative piece. I’m already looking forward to rehearse it with the choir and would gladly commission more arrangements in the future. I have complete trust in your skills (which I greatly value) and won’t want to change a single 16th, promise! Even though I might have to work my way into some particular passages“.
08.06.2012, Deutsches Chorfest 2012: Special award in the category of Jazz/Pop/Gospel for the best performance of the premiere of volkslied movement “Es waren zwei Königskinder” (arrangement: Christoph Kalz).
31.01.2013: “Once more many thanks for your resounding rock & pop arrangements for a-cappella groups. The arrangements can be easily executed and audiences love them.”
20.02.2013, Bandleader Thorsten Mebus: “The vocals were all well-set and playable. The pitch range was very well-chosen. Technically, the arrangements were easy to realise. An all-round success for choir and big band. The interaction between choir and big-band musicians is not only a lot of fun but also manages to create a great musical texture: atmospheric arrangements, which take up the sonority and perfectly combine it with that of the four-part choir. Sounds terrific”.
08.11.2011 in Usinger Anzeiger: “Bürgerhaus – standing ovations after encore: […] Exclusive performance of many mutual pieces, which had been newly arranged [by Christoph Kalz], specifically for the project […] Choir and big band ventured into new musical territory with ‘Englishman in New York’ and ‘Ride like the wind’, which at first seems quite unusual but nonetheless – due to its interesting interpretation – was met with much applause. […] The sway/momentum and the joyful sparks ignited the audience quickly. ‘Fever’ [arr.: Christoph Kalz] in its unique choral delivery was a highlight among many outstanding pieces and was rewarded with gushing applause”.
Special award in the category of Jazz/Pop/Gospel for the best performance of the premiere of volkslied movement ‘Es waren zwei Königskinder’ (arrangement: Christoph Kalz) for ‘Tonart Hochstadt’ choir.
