Rundfunkchor Berlin, the German radio choir based in Berlin, is renowned for its versatile and rich performances that span a wide range of eras and styles in choral music. Established soon after World War II ended, the choir quickly developed into a professional ensemble and became an essential part of Germany's cultural scene. It is affiliated with the Berliner Rundfunk, a former East German radio station. Over the years, the choir has collaborated with world-class orchestras and conductors, expanding its repertoire from classical masterpieces to contemporary compositions.
With its commitment to choral excellence and innovation, the Rundfunkchor Berlin is a frequent collaborator in both concert and operatic performances. The ensemble's discography is a testament to its artistic breadth, as seen in its diverse recent releases that include Mikis Theodorakis' dramatic and poignant "3. Sinfonie" and exquisite interpretations of Verdi's sacred and complex "Quattro Pezzi Sacri." Showing its versatility, the choir also presents opera highlights such as "Le postillon de Lonjumeau" and caters to younger audiences with the "Classical Slumber Time For Children" series, ensuring that their reach extends to listeners of all ages and preferences. The choir’s commitment to outreach and education is equally strong, involving younger generations in the beauty of choral music and solidifying their role as an institution that both preserves and advances the art form.
