The Salzburger Liedertafel is a traditional concert choir founded in Salzburg in 1847 .
history
The Salzburg Liedertafel was founded on November 22nd, 1847 by the then director of the Cathedral Music Association and Mozarteum, Alois Taux, as an amalgamation of all Salzburg singers to form a large male choir. It is the oldest song board in the state of Salzburg. The Salzburg Liedertafel made its first public appearance on March 23, 1848 in the Salzburg Residence with works by Friedrich Wilhelm Kücken and Johann Wenzel Kalliwoda .
She has participated in Mozarteum concerts since the 1850s and was involved in numerous important Salzburg premieres. Alois Taux even composed a festival choir for the reception of Empress Elisabeth in Salzburg. In 1892 Josef Friedrich Hummel (1841–1919) became the director of the choir for 30 years, under him they also appeared at the Salzburg Mozart Festival and, since 1920, at the Salzburg Festival .
Hummel was followed by Ernst Sompek, the composer of the Salzburg national anthem. He, too, was to lead the choir for 25 years and, above all, to make it known abroad. At that time, concerts were mostly taking place with the Damensingverein Hummel.
In 1939 the Liedertafel merged with the Salzburg men's choir, but during the Second World War two thirds of the members were assigned to military service and the life of the association ceased.
On October 30, 1946, regular choir operations began again and on March 8, 1948 the Liedertafel merged with the Damensingverein Hummel and the Salzburg Choir Association to form a choir. The men's choir had become a mixed choir.
In 1952, the Liedertafel was the first Austrian association to be awarded the Walther von der Vogelweide Medal for Art and Culture in silver from the Austrian Singers' Association.
In 1992 the Liedertafel performed together with the Singakademie Dresden at concerts in Salzburg, Dresden and Budapest.
In 1997 the 150th anniversary was celebrated with an exhibition, a gala evening and the performance of Mendelssohn's “Paulus”.
In 2003 the Salzburger Liedertafel participated as one of several choirs from the state of Salzburg in the world premiere of the work "Logos" by Wolfgang Wagner as part of the Salzburg State Choir Festival. In addition, a performance of Carl Orff's “Carmina Burana” together with the Singakademie Dresden on the open-air stage in Rathen and the Zwinger in Dresden.
