Schweizer Jugendchor
Biography Schweizer Jugendchor
The Swiss Youth Choir
sees itself as a top ensemble and has been delighting audiences with its concerts at home and abroad for 30 years with its freshness, musicality and precision, the diversity of its performances and its irresistible charm.
The Swiss Youth Choir not only performs choral music at the highest possible level, but has also turned out to be a real training ground for the Swiss choir scene in recent years. Many of the successful young Swiss conductors have gained invaluable experience as assistants in the Swiss Youth Choir. Former singers are forming new, young and young-at-heart ensembles.
The Swiss Youth Choir builds bridges between the language regions and is living proof that high standards of amateur music and fun are not mutually exclusive, but rather mutually enriching. The Swiss Youth Choir is an important network for many aspiring professional musicians who can be found in its ranks. Many friendships and musical partnerships have survived the time in the Swiss Youth Choir.
