Reviews
The choir is considered to be one of the leading amateur choirs in Austria . The choir is certified on its publications as having “great ability” and “almost always acts homogeneously”. The composer Balduin Sulzer describes the choir in the Kronen Zeitung as a “miracle ensemble that has achieved a perfection that is difficult to describe in terms of sound culture and dynamic design.” “[…] Sounds like velvet and silk, from bass to alto […]” the vocal performance of the choir is illuminated.
