Grazer Domchor
Since its construction in the 15th century, Graz Cathedral has been the source of the Styrian capital's sound. Where Frederick III had vocalists from Germany and Holland sing from 1462 onwards, it was cathedral conductor Anton Lippe who led the choir to international recognition after the First World War. With a liturgical repertoire ranging from Gregorian chant to modern works, the concert choir now regularly makes guest appearances in many European countries.
the city's first oratorio choir
The Graz Cathedral Choir has made a name for itself beyond the borders of Styria as the city's first oratorio choir through its concerts and radio broadcasts. The choir's liturgical repertoire ranges from Gregorian chant to classical polyphony and orchestral works from the Classical and Romantic periods, as well as contemporary compositions. The choir regularly receives commissions for liturgical music (A. Heiller, W. Sengstschmid, A. F. Kropfreiter, J. F. Doppelbauer, P. Planyavsky and others). The concert repertoire includes a cappella literature and the great choral-orchestral works of all epochs up to 20th century works such as F. Schmidt - The Book with Seven Seals, F. Martin - Golgotha and others. Concert tours have taken the choir to many European countries (Italy, Croatia, Germany, Russia).
