Dresden-based musician Demian Kappenstein asserts that group singing has the potential to surpass the therapeutic benefits.

In a bid to promote unity and reduce conflicts, musicians Demian Kappenstein and Reentko Dirks are bringing their "Guided Singing" series to Berlin. The initiative, which was first launched in Dresden in 2017, is expected to follow a similar format in the German capital.

Kappenstein, the driving force behind this unique project, believes that singing together more frequently could offer a great service to society. He imagines that people would do less harm and be less antisocial if they sang together more, a notion that echoes his belief in the power of music to bring people together.

However, Kappenstein is unsure about the exact order of the steps he suggests for achieving this vision. He proposes that improving education is a necessary step, but also suggests that points two and three (improving education and singing together more) could swap places. He further believes that to achieve this, massive inequality between the rich and the poor needs to be abolished.

The "Guided Singing" series, as the name suggests, guides participants through a selection of songs, providing an enjoyable and engaging way for people to come together and share in the power of music. The series has already made a significant impact in Dresden, and Kappenstein and Dirks are eager to bring this positive influence to Berlin.

While specific details about the motivations and proposed solutions from the "Guided Singing" series are not readily available, it is clear that Kappenstein and Dirks are passionate about using music as a tool for social change. Their initiative is a testament to the transformative power of music and the potential it holds for fostering unity and reducing conflicts in our world.
