Freiburg Cathedral Boys' Choir

As early as the 13th century, there is evidence of a Latin school which had an important role in the formation of choral music at the Freiburg Cathedral.

The boys sang at early mass, at vespers, and on Sundays and holidays, often together with the Cathedral Chamber Choir, into the 20th century.

This was accomplished by director of music and prelate Dr. Raimund Hug, whose 30-year direction brought a new level of international acclaim for the choir.

The choir has performed in spiritual and secular concerts under conductors such as Lorin Maazel, Michael Gielen, Neville Creed, Philippe Herreweghe, Ingo Metzmacher, Roland Bader and Moshe Atzmon.

The musical education and promotion of young singers has its home in the Archbishop's Palace, directly across from the cathedral in Freiburg.
