The RIAS Kammerchor, also known as the RIAS Chamber Choir, is an internationally acclaimed ensemble based in Berlin, Germany, renowned for its versatile and exquisite performances of a wide range of choral music. Established in 1948 by Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor (Broadcasting in the American Sector), the choir quickly distinguished itself as one of the leading chamber choirs, not only in Germany but around the world. The ensemble is particularly esteemed for its interpretations of the classical choral repertoire, with a special emphasis on the works of Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Beethoven, as evidenced by their recent releases.

Under the leadership of a series of distinguished conductors, the RIAS Kammerchor has developed an extensive discography that boasts both critical acclaim and numerous awards. They have a strong tradition of performing Baroque and classical masterpieces, as well as Romantic and contemporary works, always striving for the highest level of musicality and precision. The choir's recent works, including their renditions of Handel's "Coronation Anthems" and "Messiah," Bach's monumental "Mass in B Minor," and Beethoven's "Missa solemnis," highlight their ability to bring new life to these canonical choral compositions. Their dedication to excellence in performance and recording continues to solidify the RIAS Kammerchor's reputation as one of the world's premier chamber choirs.
