Excellence of sound and musical expression lie at the heart of the ethos of the Z\u00fcrcher Sing-Akademie. Since its formation in 2011 the ensemble has achieved its place among the most renowned ensembles of Europe\u2018s professional choral scene, with a body of singers whose quality and presence never fail to inspire and impress.<\/p>\n

Since the 2017-18 season, Florian Helgath has stood at the helm as Musical Director. There is no doubt that engagements with numerous outstanding musical directors such as Bernard Haitink, Pablo Heras-Casado, Giovanni Antonini, Paavo J\u00e4rvi or Ren\u00e9 Jacobs have influenced the ensemble\u2018s development and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Alongside its long-standing partnership with the Tonhalle-Orchester Z\u00fcrich, the Z\u00fcrcher Sing-Akademie can be seen in the great European concert halls, performing a vast and varied repertoire in collaboration with many exceptional instrumental ensembles including the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Musikkollegium Winterthur, Kammerorchester Basel, Musikkollegium Winterthur, Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, Hofkapelle M\u00fcnchen, the baroque orchestra La Scintilla and the Freiburger Barockorchester. The choir regularly performs in major European concert halls such as the Philharmonie de Paris, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the Philharmonie Berlin and, of course, the Konzerthaus Freiburg.<\/p>\n

With its a cappella projects the Z\u00fcrcher Sing-Akademie also seeks to build bridges between more traditional repertoire and contemporary music. Central to its ethos is the continued development of the choral landscape: the Z\u00fcrcher Sing-Akademie frequently commissions new works and has given many premi\u00e8re performances. The ensemble plays a prominent part in the promotion of Swiss composers, both historical and contemporary.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A thrilling palette of CD recordings spans an extraordinarily diverse repertory, from Swiss rarities across the vast canon of the symphonic greats, through to world of opera. To commemorate the anniversary of Frank Martin\u2018s death, the ensemble released a CD on the Swiss label Claves Records in Autumn 2024, that explores the gems of the choral folk tradition. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
