The St. Ulrich Kantorei is a German church choir in Schlettau .
With the establishment of the Cantorei Leges on January 22, 1658, the existence of the Cantorei was documented in the 17th century. However, documents in the city treasury suggest that the choir existed as early as 1613.
Today the choir rehearses regularly once a week and is present in the church service once a month. On the second Advent, an Advent Vesper is traditionally organized together with a trombone choir and instrumentalists. Another fixed date is the devotion on the hour of Jesus' death, at which passions by Schütz and other composers are played. Larger works by the choir were the Messiah by Georg Friedrich Handel and the Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach . The choir is directed by Cantor Egbert Mäuser.
In 2009, the choir was awarded the Zelter badge for its 351th anniversary .
