The Philharmonic Children's Choir Dresden looks back on almost sixty years of history. It is considered one of the most renowned and successful children's choirs in Germany. Currently, around 140 children and young people sing in the choir's various ensembles. Joint concerts with the Dresden Philharmonic support the choir’s continuous professional work with the young singers and contribute to a diverse musical repertoire.
The Philharmonic Children’s Choir’s ever-expanding repertoire includes works from the Renaissance to the 21st century. With this wide range, the choir regularly performs in concerts not only in Dresden, but also throughout Germany and internationally.
The ensemble can look back on concerts and workshops in countries such as England, Japan, Australia, South Africa, and the United Arab Emirates. In 2019, a tour marking 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall took the choir to the USA and Canada under the motto “Many Voices – One World.” In autumn 2024, the Philharmonic Children’s Choir gave several concerts in China.
Radio, film, and television productions, as well as numerous CD recordings, document the choir’s broad range of activities. The Philharmonic Children’s Choir has received multiple awards at national and international competitions.
