Chorus Musicus Köln

German Choral Ensemble

Chorus Musicus Köln is a German choir that has been active in the classical music scene, particularly known for their performances of Baroque and early music. The choir was founded by Christoph Spering, who is also its conductor. They have collaborated with the ensemble Das Neue Orchester, also founded by Spering, to perform and record a wide range of choral works. Their repertoire includes not only well-known pieces by composers such as J.S. Bach but also lesser-known works that they have helped to revive. The choir has gained recognition for its historically informed performances, which aim to present music as closely as possible to how it would have been heard at the time of its composition. They have toured extensively and have made numerous recordings that reflect their focus on Baroque and early music.
