Choir
The Bonner Kammerchor is a mixed semi-professional choir - about 40 ambitious singers of different ages and professions who meet to sing on a weekly basis. Through this continuity in rehearsal, the choir seeks to continually improve their quality of performance, to heighten their enthusiasm for choral singing as well as deepening their vocal skill and musical experience. Both musically and artistically, Bonner Kammerchor aims for high professional standards. Voice training and exercises to maintain a homogeneous choral sound are integral parts of rehearsing.
The choir's repertory ranges from Gregorian chant to Contemporary compositions, and over the years it has achieved an excellent reputation for its authentic and lively interpretations of works from all periods. Its concerts are well-known for their impressive, sometimes surprising programming concepts.


Bonner Kammerchor's regular performances in and around Bonn, tours throughout Germany and other European countries, recordings with German radio stations, several invitations to festivals and the successful participation in a number of national and international choral competitions have made the ensemble a cultural figurehead for Bonn as well as for Germany.
The choir's Artistic Director since 2012 is Georg Hage. Bonner Kammerchor is a member of the Association of German Concert Choirs (Verband Deutscher KonzertChöre, VDKC).
