The vocal ensemble StimmGold pays homage to composer Max Reger on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of his birth with a fascinating programme that interweaves original music by this Upper Palatinate composer with new vocal works that are based on Reger’s sound world and texts. The resultant music offers a commentary on the effects of man-made climate change. An urgent and yet hopeful appeal, accomplished with breathtaking vocal artistry.

- StimmGold Vokalensemble
Since its founding in 2014, the vocal ensemble StimmGold has rapidly attained a central position in the German vocal scene. The six classically trained singers making up the group bring with them many years of choral and ensemble experience and are especially keen in their desire to tackle challenging repertoire. The group focuses above all on vocal music from the German Romantic period as well as contemporary a cappella literature. They have given world premieres and performed modern works especially written and arranged for them which showcase their considerable expressive strength and harmonic clarity in a most convincing manner.
The group’s own composition competition, first held in 2018, is closely connected with their home city of Regensburg and its yearly cultural focus. To date, it has generated close to 450 new vocal works. In November 2019, their first CD, “Golden Moments for Christmas”, was released by Spektral Records. A second release on Spektral followed in 2021 and included six-part works by Hans Leo Hassler, Heinrich Schütz, a commission by Enjott Schneider (Colours of the bells) as well as prize-winning works from the previous competition year. Their third CD, “Through the Forest”, has now been recorded in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the Upper Palatinate. It consists of works dedicated to Max Reger. In 2023, StimmGold received a prize from the German Orchestral Foundation for this recording.
