The Tölzer Knabenchor is one of the most famous and successful boys' choirs in the world, performing more than 150 concert and opera appearances each year. The choir's repertoire covers all areas of choral singing from the Baroque to the present, with a particular focus on the works of Johann Sebastian Bach as well as all important boys' roles in the opera repertoire, especially Mozart's "The Magic Flute".
The 2022/23 season begins with a special concert as part of the Boys' Choir Festival in Bad Tölz. Concerts will follow in Magdeburg, Berlin, and Schwäbisch Gmünd, as well as a re-invitation to the Rheingau Music Festival. With the Munich Philharmonic under the direction of Robin Ticciati, the choir will be performing at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden. A special highlight of the current season is an invitation from the Cairo Symphony Orchestra to Cairo in Spring 2023. Solo performances feature boys from the Bavarian and Hamburg State Opera, the Komische Oper Berlin, and the Semperoper Dresden, as well as in the opera Bluthaus by Gorg Friedrich Haas at the Opéra National de Lyon.
Concert tours have taken the Tölzer Knabenchor across Europe, to Russia, Israel, Asia, and the USA. The choir is regularly invited to the most renowned festivals such as the Salzburg Festival, the Bachfest in Leipzig, the Rheingau Music Festival, or the Shanghai Baroque Festival. It performs in all the major concert halls of the world, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Carnegie Hall, the Vienna Musikverein, or Suntory Hall.
For its recordings, the choir has received numerous awards, including the German Record Prize, the French Record Prize, the Diapason d’Or, the ECHO Klassik from the German Phono Academy Berlin, as well as a nomination for the Grammy Award.
Currently, about 150 boys are being taught at the Tölzer Knabenchor in Munich. In several training stages, the famous "Tölzer Klang" emerges, characterized by special homogeneity, bright heights, precise intonation, and clear articulation. Targeted support and age-appropriate learning enable optimal training for the children.
The choir was founded in 1956 by Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden, who musically led it until 2014.
