Dresden Philharmonic Children's Choir live in Dresden

Experience Dresden Philharmonic Children's Choir live on April 25th

The Dresden Philharmonic Children’s Choir will perform at the Kulturpalast in Dresden on April 25, 2027. The choir, founded in 1949, focuses on a diverse repertoire encompassing classical choral works, contemporary compositions specifically arranged for young voices, and folk songs from various cultures. They are known for their precise intonation, expressive interpretations, and commitment to musical education; often collaborating with the Dresden Philharmonic orchestra itself. Their performances aim to showcase the capabilities of children’s choirs beyond traditional expectations.

The Kulturpalast serves as a significant cultural venue in Dresden. Originally opened in 1964 as the “Palast der Republik,” it was a central building of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), primarily used for political and cultural events controlled by the state. Following German reunification, extensive renovations transformed it into a modern concert and congress center, reopening in 2017. The building’s architecture blends socialist classicism with modern elements and houses several halls including the Schmorl City Hall which is its main concert hall known for its excellent acoustics. Today it hosts a wide range of events including orchestral concerts, opera performances, and conferences contributing significantly to Dresden's cultural landscape.
