Биография
Looking solely at the dates, the Knabenchor Hannover is still young in comparison to the other famous boys’ choirs. Its foundation in 1950 continued a Hannoverian choral tradition going back as far as to the “chorus symphonicus” of the 13th century, which was responsible for the choral services in Hannover’s main churches. Without an affiliated boarding school, choral works from all eras are rehearsed on a daily basis. The result are excellent concerts in historically informed performance practice. The associated singing school provides over 200 boys per year with an exceptional education, widely exceeding the musical aspects and enabling each of them to discover their own potential. The Knabenchor Hannover is an independent organisation which is not owned by public or ecclesial institutions. As a distinguished ensemble, first-rate musical partner and respected musical ambassador, the choir under direction of Prof Jörg Breiding is an important part of musical life in Lower Saxony and well-known far beyond. The extensive repertoire of the Knabenchor Hannover ranges from works in Venetian polychoral style to contemporary compositions, focusing on compositions from the 17th and 18th century, most importantly the works of Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach. Concerts with renowned musical partners in Germany and abroad, guest performances in major concert halls and at major music festivals as well as award-winning CD recordings belong to the choir’s activities.
