The mdw’s Anton Webern

Kammerchor Johannes Hiemetsberger, Director

Since its establishment under Herwig Reiter in 1983, the Webern Chamber Choir (led later on by Johannes Prinz [1988–1999] and Alois Glaßner [1999–2011]) has been a fixture of Viennese concert life.

Its members—all of them students of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna—come together to pursue their interest in choral singing across a broad range of styles, working on repertoire ranging from baroque oratorios to pop and jazz numbers, and from madrigals to world premières of contemporary works for a cappella choir.

In the Choral Bridges series, the Webern Chamber Choir seeks out encounters with chamber choirs from universities of music all over the world; most recently, they met up with the madrigal choir of the Academy of Music and Theatre (Munich) and the Mississippi Concert Singers (USA).

The choir has worked under the leadership of Johannes Hiemetsberger since the autumn of 2011.
