In the artist's words:

The Munich Concert Choir

"Sophisticated with pleasure"

Sound ideals and the joy of singing: This is what the Munich Concert Choir strives for, making it an attractive ensemble for over 90 singers. Since its foundation in 1952, the choir has developed a wide-ranging repertoire from the Renaissance to the modern era, which it always presents true to its motto "with pleasure and sophistication". The choir owes this development towards musical expression at a high level to the committed, systematic leadership of its artistic directors, including Robert Blank (2000 - 2013), Professor Benedikt Haag (2014 - 2021) and, since 2022, Óscar Payá Prats.

Most of the Munich Concert Choir's concerts take place in the Emmaus Church in Harlaching, where the choir is also based and provides the musical accompaniment for church services on certain feast days. The choir also performs in the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz. It has engagements at the Isarphilharmonie, where the choir traditionally performs Beethoven's Ninth with the Munich Symphony Orchestra at the turn of the year. However, its activities extend beyond Munich's borders, with concert tours taking the choir to Berlin, Krakow, Dresden, Italy and even the Lucerne Cultural Center. The Münchner Konzertchor is committed to presenting both well-known and less frequently performed choral works. These include works by Enjott Schneider and Benjamin Britten or Karl Jenkins and Ola Gjeilo.

Under the current choirmaster, Óscar Payá Prats, the choir is once again beginning to expand its repertoire and is discovering the choral literature of Spanish and Latin American composers.
