The girls' and women's choir of the Schola Cantorum Leipzig is one of the renowned choirs in its category. The two choirs can look back on numerous concerts, international and national competitions, as well as CD and television recordings. Currently, about 60 members aged twelve years to adulthood sing here. A team of professional vocal educators and choir directors ensures the extensive musical and vocal training of the singers.
The diverse repertoire includes, among other things, works of German Romanticism, French composers of the turn of the century, as well as contemporary music from the 20th and 21st centuries.
The Schola Cantorum Leipzig was founded in 1963 as a children's and youth choir and has been operating under the sponsorship of the city of Leipzig since 1982. Today, about 300 children, teenagers, and young adults sing and make music in early musical education, preschool, and sparrow choirs, in the children's choir, the internationally renowned girls' choir, as well as in the women's choir and mixed-voice chamber choir. The various ensembles can be experienced in 40 to 50 concerts each year in Leipzig and, to a large extent, far beyond, reaching well over 10,000 listeners in total. The Schola Cantorum Leipzig is thus one of the largest and most active choral formations in Central Germany, an important local educational institution, and an ambassador for the music city of Leipzig.

The world-famous Regensburg Cathedral Sparrows are probably the oldest boys' choir in existence. Over 1000 years ago, in 975, Bishop Wolfgang founded his own cathedral school, which placed special emphasis on musical training. The students were entrusted with liturgical singing in the bishop's church. To this day, the main task of the Sparrows is the musical design of the services in the Regensburg Cathedral of St. Peter. During the school year, they can be heard every Sunday and on the major feasts of the church. Since 2022, there has also been a girls' choir under the umbrella of the Regensburg Cathedral Sparrows, which has already proven its high quality in numerous concerts.

The program features traditional and new European and German Advent and Christmas songs.
