The Cologne Philharmonic Choir was founded in 1947 by Philipp Röhl in Cologne . The current director of the choir is Horst Meinardus . The 150-member concert choir has a wide repertoire of choral music from the baroque to the modern. With around 400 large choir concerts in Cologne's Gürzenich and the Cologne Philharmonic , with records and CD recordings, numerous concert tours within Europe and beyond (e.g. Abu Dhabi , Cairo ), with participation in international music festivals and Europe-wide radio and television broadcasts the choir has made a name for itself outside of its hometown of Cologne.
The Cologne Philharmonic Choir, together with other renowned choirs in the city, is part of the Cologne Choir Network in a cooperation that is unique in Germany.
