The Trier Bach Choir was founded in 1969 by church music director Ekkehard Schneck as an interdenominational and national concert choir. Since January 1999 the ecumenical choir community of around 80 members has been led by Cantor Martin Bambauer .
With his motets, cantatas, passions and the Christmas Oratorio, Bach forms a focus; the great choral works by Monteverdi, Schütz, Handel, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Brahms and Bruckner are also cultivated. Over the past quarter century, the Trier Bach Choir has not only performed an extensive repertoire in regular concerts in the Constantine Basilica , but also in the neighboring federal states as well as in Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
