Augsburg Cathedral Boys Choir
Guest Artist
In addition to their core occupation, upholding the cathedral’s musica sacra, Domkapellmeister Reinhard Kammler and his Augsburger Domsingknaben have also been part of the professional international music business very successfully for years. Working with world stars such as Sir Colin Davis, Fabio Luisi, Jeffrey Tate, Thomas Hengelbrock, Mstislav Rostropowitsch, Sir Neville Marriner, Kent Nagano, Mariss Jansons, Manfred Honeck, Abdullah Kazem and Daniel Harding, the boy soloists or the chamber choir of the Augsburger Domsingknaben perform at music festivals such as the Schwetzinger Festspiele, the Baltic Sea Festival Stockholm, or the Festival du musique sacrée in Switzerland, and at distinguished opera houses such as the Bayerische Staatsoper München, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein Düsseldorf, and the Opéra national du Rhin Strasbourg.
The Augsburger Domsingknaben perform all over Germany, in many European countries as well as abroad; they have sung in the Vatican in front of the Pope on several occasions, and have given regular guest performances at official functions for high-level politicians in Berlin, including the new federal president Joachim Gauck at Schloss Bellevue.
Numerous CDs of the Augsburger Domsingknaben, many of them in cooperation with the Residenz-Kammerorchester München, have been published with labels such as Harmonia Mundi, EMI and Ars Musici. Working with Kammler and his Augsburger Domsingknaben for the first time, Deutsche Grammophon produced a very successful CD of Christmas classics in 2012, together with the Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin and the internationally-acclaimed soprano Anna Prohaska. A new recording with Deutsche Grammophon is in progress.
