[4] In 1973, Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden and his choir received the German Record Prize for their performance of Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio.

The choir made many concert tours in countries all over the world, including Japan, the People's Republic of China, Israel, Poland and the USA.

Notable artists such as Carl Orff, August Everding, Hans Werner Henze, Leonard Bernstein, Gustav Leonhardt, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and Claudio Abbado are some of those among the choir's supporters.

The choir also participated in the official opening ceremony for the 2006 World Cup in Germany, on June 9, 2006, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, directed by Christian Stückl.

They also sang on the tarmac at Munich Airport for the farewell of Pope Benedict XVI from his visit to Germany in September 2006, who was delighted, and thanked the boys and the artistic director personally.

From September 2014 to March 2021, vocal coaches Christian Fliegner and Clemens Haudum were the musical and artistic directors of the Tölzer Knabenchor.

[6][7] In May 2016, long-time choir manager Anselm Sibig was unexpectedly fired and replaced by Barbara Schmidt-Gaden, who took over his duties for only a short period of time.

[8] In 2017, author Christopher Kloeble, who sang in the choir from 1988 to 1994, reported mental abuse by then-choir manager Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden.

Hofstetter will, however, remain with the choir as principal guest conductor and advisory board member of the sponsoring association.

[15] Education starts at the age of six, each member receiving intensive solo vocal training in addition to weekly group rehearsals.

Members of the choir have played the "Three boys" in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) in numerous productions.
