Chor von St. Bonifatius

Massenkeil took detailed notes about the choir's history, mentioning for example that on 19 November 1933 the oratorio Die heilige Elisabeth by Joseph Haas was performed.

[1] During the "Festwoche zum 100jährigen Kirchjubiläum" (Festive week for centenary of the church) in 1962, the choir performed Palestrina's Mass "O admirabile commercium" and Bruckner's Locus iste.

The chronicle for the centenary summarises: "Die seit 1929 verzeichneten künstlerischen Ereignisse geben nun ein so überwältigendes Zeugnis lebendigster Anteilnahme des Chores und seiner Führung an den allgemeinreligiösen, liturgischen, kirchenmusikalischen und allgemeinkulturellen Belangen dieser Zeit ..." ("The artistic events recorded since 1929 stand now as a magnificent testimony to the very lively part played by the choir and its leadership in the general religious, liturgical, and church-music life and in the common cultural landscape of this period.").

[2] He performed, among others, Hans Leo Hassler's Missa super Dixit Maria, Handel's Dettingen Te Deum and Mozart's Krönungsmesse.

He performed works by Monteverdi, Pergolesi, Schütz, Bach, Cherubini, Mendelsohn, Bruckner and Hindemith, partly for the first time in the city.

[1] The choir sang the premiere of the Mass Deutsche Messe mit Einheitsliedern for mixed choir, six brass players and congregational singing (1965) by Friedrich Zehm on 15 September 1968 in a festive service for the diocese, the Limburger Kreuzwoche (Limburg week of the Cross), with members of the Hessisches Staatsorchester.

He kept the tradition of singing mainly in services, including regularly a Mass with orchestra for Christmas and Easter,[1] usually accompanied by members of the Hessisches Staatsorchester.

[5] Both Chor and Kinderchor appeared in performances of Hermann Suter's Le Laudi (1998 and 2007) and in 2004 in the German premiere of John Rutter's Mass of the Children.

[4][8][9] The organist was Ignace Michiels from St. Salvator's Cathedral in Bruges, soprano Natascha Jung, oboist Leonie Dessauer.

In Rome in 2008, the choir sang a concert in San Paolo dentro le Mura of Vivaldi's Gloria and Haydn's Nelson-Messe, and a Mass in St. Peter's Basilica.

The cantors Michiels (organ) and Dessauer chose Jules Van Nuffel's In convertendo Dominus, Rudolf Mauersberger's Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst, and Duruflé's Requiem.

On 8 May, Britten's War Requiem was performed in a ceremony of the government of Hesse at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, with choirs from countries who were opponents during the war, the Swindon Choral Society from Swindon, UK, the Macon Civic Chorale from Macon, Georgia, and the Schiersteiner Kantorei, conducted by Martin Lutz.

His first choral concert was on 26 October 2019 Dvořák's Stabat Mater, with the choir, members of the orchestra of the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden, and soloists including soprano Betsy Horne and bass Johannes Hill.

The choir performed with soloists Talia Or, Silvia Hauer, Sung Min Song and Johannes Hill, and members of the Hessisches Staatsorchester.

[20][21] On 11 December 2022, the choir performed the Oratorio de Noël by Camille Saint-Saëns with soloists and members of the Hessisches Staatsorchester in an Advent concert.
