history
The Marburg Bach Choir was founded in 1966 by students from the Marburg Philipps University . He gained his musical artistic standard in over 30 years of musical work under Wolfram Wehnert , who directed the choir from 1970 to 2001. This level and repertoire has given him a permanent place between professional and amateur choirs in German-speaking countries over the past 20 years (as of 2005). The Marburg Bach Choir receives special recognition for its efforts to rediscover and interpret the church music of Bach's contemporary Jan Dismas Zelenka .
Participation in numerous festivals (e.g. in October 1999: Days of German Culture in Moscow ), the recording of sound carriers and the participation in radio recordings form the external profile of the choir. Here, the historical performance is important.
