About us
We are the Berlin Cathedral Choir in the heart of the capital under the roof of the Berlin Cathedral. Our choir consists of various ensembles: the Oratorio Choir, the Chamber Choir, the Motet Choir, the Schola and various project choirs.
All ensembles are stylistically extremely diverse and sing works from the Renaissance to modern times. We achieve our musical quality through the great commitment and the demand of all singers for themselves.
We are the parish choir of the Berlin Cathedral. Therefore, we participate in church services and take part in the life of the congregation. In addition, we regularly give concerts in and outside of Berlin. With rehearsal trips, concert tours and the possibility to spend time together beyond the rehearsals, we cultivate the community. We value open, respectful and friendly interaction.
We enjoy the privilege of musical work at the highest level in differently oriented ensembles, without having to charge membership fees. We are supported in all respects by the Berlin Cathedral and financially by the Förderkreis der Berliner Domkantorei. Donations are always welcome. Membership in the Förderverein is recommended to all.
