Stimmgold Vokalensemble

The Regensburg vocal group StimmGold was founded in early 2014 by students at Regensburg’s University of Catholic Church Music and Music Pedagogy, as well as the Faculty of Music Pedagogy at the University of Regensburg. The six classically trained singers making up the group all have many years of ensemble and choral experience and share a common passion for performing challenging works. They focus above all on German vocal music from the Romantic Era as well as a capella literature from more recent times. They have given highly effective premieres of contemporary works and modern arrangements, performing them with great expressive force and harmonic transparency. After having commissioned a number of composers (including Rihards Dubra, Bernhard Hofmann and others) in recent years, StimmGold decided in 2018 to start their own international competition for new compositions.
