Chorwerk Ruhr, founded in 1999 by the Kultur Ruhr GmbH, the Kommunalverband Ruhrgebiet, the City of Essen and the NRW State Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Urban Development, Culture and Sport, is one of Germany’s leading chamber choirs today, and which has been under the artistic direction of the award-winning conductor Florian Helgath since 2011. The extraordinary quality of the ensemble is also evidenced by numerous world premieres of works by major contemporary composers, which the choir realises in close cooperation with its partners. Since it was founded, the choir has appeared performing a wide repertoire which has been constantly enriched by the awarding of composition commissions. It has performed with renowned orchestras such as the SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden-Baden and Freiburg, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen and Concerto Köln, as well as the Ensemble Modern, l’arte del mondo and Ensemble Resonanz. In these appearances, Chorwerk Ruhr performed under the baton of conductors such as Frieder Bernius, Sylvain Cambreling, Reinhard Goebel, Susanna Mälkki, Kent Nagano, Peter Neumann, Peter Rundel, Marcus Stenz, Bruno Weil and Hans Zender. Extensive recordings with Westdeutscher Rundfunk and Deutschlandfunk as well as participation in national and international music festivals reflect the success of the ensemble, which has a special connection with the annual Ruhrtriennale and is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia. Chorwerk Ruhr now appears in concerts of the Berliner Philharmoniker for the first time.
