The Bach Choir Siegen is a choir under the direction of Ulrich Stötzel , which is particularly committed to the compositional work of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as sacred music .
Ulrich Stötzel established the Bach Choir Siegen in 1973 alongside his studies. The choir has now performed at international music festivals and in well-known concert halls such as the Cologne Philharmonic , the Prinzregententheater in Munich and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris .
The choir has been organizing cantatas services on a regular basis since 1980 . In addition to intensive preoccupation with sacred music and the musical legacy of its namesake, Johann Sebastian Bach, the choir also performs secular music of all styles and develops concepts. These include composer portraits by Felix Mendelssohn and John Rutter or project Anno Domini of Ruthild Eicker .
The choir includes the Collegium vocale Siegen , also under the direction of Ulrich Stötzel, which has published music productions both together with the Bach Choir and independently.
