Vocal Concert Dresden

about

The Vocal Concert Dresden, which was founded as the "Körnerscher Sing-Verein" by Peter Kopp in 1993, consists largely of graduates of the Dresden Kreuzchor. The chamber choir's challenging repertoire extends from programs featuring the music of Schütz, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn and Brahms to contemporary compositions, some of which it has premiered. The ensemble's interpretative insights, and even more the emotional impact of its concerts, have contributed to its reputation for exeptional performances and and to its artistic standing. It is constantly credited with stylistic assurance and an elegant, natural approach to music-making. The choir has appeared in a number of concerts staged by the Dresden Staatskapelle and the Dresden Philharmonic. It has made guest appearances at the Ansbach Bach Week, the Göttingen Handel Festival, Schlossfestspielen Potsdam, Halle Handel Festival, the Ravello Festival (Italy), in Poland and Holland, and also repeatedly in the USA. A prominent feature of its programs is music of the late 18th century, for which the Vocal Concert Dresden has developed a particular affinity. Its projects reflect a strong commitment to representative figures in Saxony's musical history. Thus its current CD productions (for Carus, cpo, Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft, Ars musici) focus primarily on works from the Dresden musical tradition.
