Salzburger Liedertafel

[2][3][4] The choir played a part in important events in Salzburg, such as the laying of foundation stones of notable buildings, and at the visits of important people, including the visit of Empress Elisabeth of Austria, for which occasion Taux composed a choral piece.

Ernst Sompek [de] became the director in 1912, taking over from Hummel, and remaining until 1937.

The "Mozart House", later named the Mozarteum, was completed in 1913; rehearsals of the choir have since then taken place there.

[1][2][5] The choir merged in 1939 with the Men's Choral Society of Salzburg.

The choir gave in 1971 the first performance of Aus einer Sturmnacht by Franz Richter Herf [de].
