history
Initially founded by Wilfried Mann at the end of the 1970s by merging the Wetzlar Gospel Choir and the first ERF Studio Choir , the Jubilate Choir was re-launched in 1989 as a national project-based formation. Wilfried Mann continued to lead the choir until his death in 2001. Today the choir is led by Cantor Gilbrecht Schäl, long-time pianist and organist with the choir.
With its concerts and recordings, the choir makes use of a broad spectrum of all church music styles from chorale to new spiritual song . Its composition still consists of long-term members of formerly important Christian choirs such as the Wetzlar Choirs by Margret Birkenfeld , the Youth for Christ Choir by Johannes Haas and Klaus Heizmann or the Schulte & Gerth Studio Choir by Jochen Rieger .
