Experience Collegium Musicum Universitätschor Heidelberg
Collegium Musicum Universitätschor Heidelberg is a renowned German academic choir steeped in tradition, tracing its origins back to 1786, making it one of Germany’s oldest university choirs. Originally founded by composer and music theorist Johann Christian Kittel, the choir has maintained a continuous performance history despite periods of interruption, notably post-World War II.
Today, under the direction of Professor Markus Utz, the choir boasts approximately 160 singers – students and members of the wider Heidelberg community. Their repertoire is exceptionally broad, spanning from Renaissance polyphony to contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on *a cappella* works and large-scale oratorio performances.
Collegium Musicum regularly collaborates with professional orchestras like the Heidelberg Philharmonic and performs in prestigious venues including the Heiliggeistkirche (Holy Spirit Church) in Heidelberg. They have released numerous recordings throughout their history, showcasing their vocal precision and interpretive depth. Beyond concert performances, they are committed to musical education and fostering choral singing within the university and local area. The choir frequently undertakes international tours, representing Heidelberg's musical heritage abroad.
