KammerChor Saarbrücken is one of Germany's leading chamber choirs and it is internationally known for its distinctive homogenous and transparent a cappella choral sound.
The choir has proven its consistent high quality by winning the German Choir Competition in 1998 as well as many important international choir competitions within the past twenty years (most recently the 13th International Chamber Choir Competition in Marktoberdorf in 2013).
Its numerous recordings and collaborations with historically informed baroque ensembles and classical orchestras as well as several broadcasting stations and CD producers are proof of the ensemble's demanding program diversity.
The choir regularly receives invitations to internationally renowned festivals. It collaborates with the Deutsche Radio Philharmonic orchestra and produces its CDs exclusively with the Saarländischer Rundfunk broadcasting station.
The KammerChor Saarbrücken could recently be heard at the 11th World Symposium on Choral Music in Barcelona to which they were invited by the IFCM in 2017. In 2018, the ensemble was invited to the international choir competition in Tolosa on the occasion of the competition's 50th anniversary.
In 2019, the choir will be on tour in Asia where it will sing, amongst others, in the opening concert of the Tokyo International Choir Competition and appear at the Taipei International Choral Festival.
