CI stars
“My life in the boys' choir must not only be part of my past”. Under this motto, the association of alumni of the boys' choir collegium iuvenum Stuttgart, the so-called CISterne, was founded in 1995. This association, into which the active male voices are already growing, wants to be a home for the CISians who are leaving the active male choir.

However, performances and concert tours also take the choir far beyond the borders of Baden-Württemberg and Germany. There have been performances in Switzerland, France, Poland, Finland, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria, Norway and Canada, among others. The boys 'choir collegium iuvenum Stuttgart is now one of the leading boys' choirs in Germany. This is underscored by the enthusiastic reviews the choir recently received for its contribution to the concert tour through Bavaria and Austria, including its appearances in Salzburg Cathedral, the Mariazell Basilica, St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna and Melk Abbey.
An annual joint choir free time in Michelbach an der Bilz provides not only intensive rehearsal work but also space for joint leisure time activities.
Concerts of the choir could be heard on the radio (including on SWR , DeutschlandRadio Kultur in Berlin and Deutschlandfunk in Cologne); Various CD recordings have also been made, for example at Carus-Verlag and Quell-Verlag Stuttgart.
The choir is financed by the Förderverein collegium iuvenum Stuttgart e. V., which is recognized as charitable. The choir is supported by the commitment of the choir members, parents and friends.
