THE DISEASE
Since 1971, the Dresden Boys’ Choir has been enriching the rich Saxon choral tradition with its special, charming sound, and is one of the youngest boys’ choirs in Germany today.
The choir was originally part of the Teachers’ House, and later the City of Dresden. In 1998 it was merged into the Heinrich Schütz Conservatory Dresden e. V. Currently the choir is made up of about 90 boys and young men aged between 5 and 30 years old, who sing in different choir groups.
The repertoire includes both sacred and secular vocal music from the 16th century to contemporary choral works. The main focus is on sacred vocal music from the 16th and 18th centuries, but the programmes often include choral works accompanied by orchestra.
The choir performs actively in various German and European countries – Belgium, Finland, France, Russia, and the Austrian-Czech-Slovak border region. 2018 m. A two-week tour of China in October.
