Kammerchor Stuttgart, founded and directed by the esteemed conductor Frieder Bernius since its inception in 1968, stands as one of Germany’s leading chamber choirs, renowned for its precise and expressive performances. Over the years, the choir has garnered a stellar reputation for its interpretations of a capella music ranging from the Renaissance period to contemporary works, though they have a special affinity for Baroque and Classical repertoire. Their dedication to authentic sound and style has set them apart, and this can be heard in their extensive discography which includes works by prolific composers such as Mendelssohn, Haydn, and Schubert.

The ensemble's ability to blend articulate vocal artistry with scholarly research has brought numerous accolades and has allowed them to premiere forgotten or rarely performed pieces, thus contributing to a richer understanding of choral music traditions. Kammerchor Stuttgart's collaboration with leading orchestras and soloists in music festivals and concert series across the world has not only extended their acclaim internationally but also demonstrated the choir's versatility and dynamic range. Their recent releases, such as "Mendelssohn: Geistliche Chorwerke" and "Haydn: Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze,” continue to reflect their commitment to exploring diverse sacred and secular works, further solidifying their reputation as a premier vocal ensemble.
