Sacred. Secular. Symphonic.
At the heart of our choral programme are works for choir and orchestra – modern editions that reflect the latest state of research. In addition, our catalog includes a cappella choral music as well as works with organ or piano accompaniment, ranging from the Renaissance to the twentieth century.
A particular focus is placed on intercultural choral music, especially works rooted in the Jewish tradition. Choral collections for various occasions complete the program.
