Meet Our Ambassador
Kari Olsen-Porthouse
Choir Leader
I'm Kari and I run 5 community choirs in Nottingham in the UK. Our Liberty Singer choirs range in size from 150, 60, two at 25 and 1 at 12. We sing popular songs usually in 3 or 4 part harmony which I arrange myself and create audio recordings for.
Opportunities for performance are usually local and for community events although this year, for the first time, we'll have all 5 choirs together in a really prestigious venue for our own concert.
We are non-auditioned with an emphasis on connection rather than perfection creating a little bit of Liberty Magic in every single rehearsal and performance we do.
About Kari Olsen-Porthouse
Professional Background
As a passionate performer and advocate for music in community settings, I have built a dynamic career in workplace singing and community choirs. My dedication to fostering a love for singing allows people from all walks of life to come together through the power of song.
I was the creator of ICU Liberty Singers, a unique initiative that encourages people to embrace their voices online during the pandemic and find joy in singing.
The challenge of performing 4 songs in one night at Kari-oke showcases my versatility and ability to connect with the audience in a memorable way, making each performance an exciting celebration of music and togetherness.
ChoirMate Experience
With 5 choirs and around 200 singers, ChoirMate has brought a new found calm to my life. Previously, we used a Facebook group, a OneDrive for storage and a website for rehearsal audio. There were problems logging in and accessing things and the whole system was clunky.
The streamlined nature of ChoirMate has meant less stress for singers who can now find things easily. There's a real community spirit about people helping each other with the app and sharing new ways to make the most of the features.
It has revolutionised my community choir family.

Øvingslister
Kom i gang med egenøving i en ledig stund på sekunder.
Lytt hvor og når som helst
På vei til jobb, skole eller hjemme spiller ingen rolle. Øvingslisten med kurerte lydfiler for neste konsert eller oppdrag er alltid tilgjengelig.
Redaktørstyrt
Utnevnte korister har ansvaret for å oppdatere øvingslistene for sin stemmegruppe. Siden øvingslistene er delt, vil medkoristene lett komme i gang med øvingen. Hvorfor kaste bort tid og energi for å finne de beste lydfilene, når noen få kan tilrettelegge for alle andre?
De gode resultatene fra økt egenøving både høres og føles.
Funksjonsrik og budsjettvennlig
Elsket av kor fra hele verden
Livet mitt kommer til å bli så mye mer behagelig nå som jeg ikke trenger å forholde meg til Dropbox igjen 💕
Jeg vil absolutt anbefale ChoirMate videre til både korister og dirigentkollegaer
Genialt enkel og brukervennlig. Flott med oppmøte og fraværsmeldingsknapp, samt meldinger, øvefiler, egentlig det meste.
Super app! Endelig en app som gjør korøving og administrasjon mye enklere!
