Limburger Domsingknaben

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Limburg Cathedral Boys' Choir (in German: "Limburger Domsingknaben") is a famous boys' choir from Limburg, Germany. Their home is the musical boarding school in Hadamar, next to Limburg. The choir was founded in 1967 by the former bishop of Limburg, Dr. Wilhelm Kempf. The main task of the choir is the musical creation of the service on Sundays in the Cathedral of Limburg. In addition the choir sings services inside and outside of the diocese of Limburg and many concerts in the whole world. The repertoire contains all musical epochs.

A famous ex-member of the choir is Johannes Kalpers (*1968), known as a singer in TV.

Different concert trips of the choir since 1987 were made to the US (1989 and 1998), Canada (1993 and 2001), Mexico (2000), South Africa (1995) and other, mostly European countries.
