Chamber Choir

The singers are students and alumni of the hmt Rostock and are dedicated to a wide range of choral literature from early music to contemporary works. The focus is on a cappella literature, but occasionally choral symphonic works also complement the repertoire.

The choir has successfully participated in several competitions and won prizes, for example at the 2008 World Choir Games in Graz and at the 2016 International Choir Festival in Lisbon. At the 11th German Choir Competition 2023 in Hanover, it won 3rd prize in the category “Choirs from music academies”. In addition, the ensemble has worked with renowned artists such as Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Kit Armstrong in recent years.

The choir was conducted for 20 years by Prof. Dagmar Gatz, the ensemble's founder. Matthias Mensching, lecturer in choral conducting at the hmt Rostock, has led the choir since April 2021.

Rehearsals: Thursdays, 18:00 - 20:00, Chapter Hall
