Little vocal wonders from the age of six come together in Leipzig with the sparrow choirs of the Schola Cantorum. The singing talents of the municipal children's and youth choirs have either completed musical early education or have been drawn to choir work through extensive talent searches in Leipzig schools. In the sparrow choir, the members learn the foundations of singing together with childlike enthusiasm and great joy. The girls and boys meet weekly for rehearsals, discovering their own creativity in musical collaboration while simultaneously forming relationships with others.

With the preparation of traditional children's and folk songs, the path to the stage and the spotlight is paved. In small concerts and in front of a real audience, debut performance experiences are then gathered. Every year, children's operas or musicals are developed together with the children's choir of the city of Leipzig and staged at the Theater der Jungen Welt. The concert year traditionally concludes with the grand Christmas concert of the children's choirs in the festive hall of the New City Hall.

The children's choir of the city of Leipzig offers a fresh, modern, and high-quality musical education, combined with the joy of singing and performing together. The choir currently unites nearly 60 girls and boys aged between eight and twelve under the roof of the Schola Cantorum Leipzig, who experience and share the fascination, energy, and diversity of choral singing with their own voices in a focused and age-appropriate manner. The children are intensively accompanied and supervised in rehearsals and lessons by a team of professional and experienced music teachers, vocal trainers, and choir conductors.

The Schola Cantorum Leipzig was founded in 1963 as a children's and youth choir and has been working under the sponsorship of the city of Leipzig since 1982. Approximately 300 children, teenagers, and young adults sing and make music today in musical early education, preschool and sparrow choirs, the children's choir, the internationally renowned girls' choir, as well as the women's choir and mixed chamber choir. The various ensembles can be experienced each year in 40 to 50 concerts in front of more than 10,000 listeners in Leipzig and far beyond. Thus, the Schola Cantorum Leipzig is one of the largest and most active choral formations in Central Germany, an important local education provider, and a cultural ambassador for the music city of Leipzig.
