The Schöneberger Sängerknaben are a renowned boys' choir based in Berlin, Germany, with a historical lineage that adds a rich cultural tradition to their performances. The choir's name translates to the "Schöneberg Boys' Choir," referring to the Schöneberg district of Berlin where they are situated. Known for their pure and disciplined vocal delivery, the choir specializes in a vast repertoire that encompasses everything from sacred music to traditional folk songs, as well as contemporary pieces.

Their work includes seasonal releases like "Es weihnachtet sehr" and "Alle Jahre wieder," which showcase their talent in interpreting Christmas carols with both tenderness and harmonic complexity. They have also demonstrated their versatility by delving into classical territory with the "Peter Anders - Recital," collaborating with established ensembles such as the RIAS-Kammerchor, the RIAS-Unterhaltungsorchester, and the RIAS-Symphonieorchester under the baton of Ferenc Fricsay. These recordings, made in the mid-20th century, capture the historic essence of post-war Berlin's music scene. Furthermore, the choir enjoys lighter fare as well, as reflected in whimsical titles like "Man muß mal ab und zu verreisen," adding a playful dimension to their comprehensive musical capabilities. The Schöneberger Sängerknaben continue to be a cultural treasure, entwining their historical roots with modern expressions of choral music.
