Youth Choir Kaufungen

Germany

The Youth Choir Kaufungen is part of the Kaufungen Protestant Singing School, which was founded in 2002. Most of the 11 to 18-year-old singers have already had a long period of singing school, starting with the “Mice Choir” (from the age of four), the “Sparrow Choir” and the Children’s Choir. From the 6th grade onwards, the choir members move on to the youth choir, where they sing under the direction of district cantor Martin Baumann until they graduate from high school or start university. Stylistically, the Kaufungen Youth Choir cultivates a broad repertoire from early music to the present day, from classical music to arrangements of pop pieces, both sacred and secular. Choral musicals are also performed regularly. In order to experience oratorio and cantata performances, the Kaufungen Youth Choir often organises concerts and church services with the Kaufunger Kantorei. Otherwise, the choir devotes itself to numerous performances and activities and has made a good name for itself in the region.
