A visit from "next door": How wonderful that the cathedral church of St. Eberhard, less than five hundred meters from the collegiate church, has been home to such a great choir for many years, currently comprising around 150 girls in various age groups. With two boys' choirs, the girls' choir, the children's choir of the State Opera, large school choirs and numerous children's choirs in the parishes, the promotion of young singers in the state capital is not bad at all. We are delighted to be convinced of the high standard of the concert choir of the Mädchenkantorei under the direction of cathedral conductor Lydia Schimmer in this lesson with a challenging selection of works!
