Chor "Anima Eterna"

The Anima Eterna Choir is an ensemble of selected soloists and, like its orchestral counterpart, is a group of musicians which comes together to work on specific projects. The core membership, which can be expanded as required for larger works, comprises 16 singers. The choir’s hallmark is its combination of vocal artistry and committed music making. The ensemble was founded in 1987, since when it has established an enviable reputation, appearing at important festivals and concerts in the leading European musical centers. The choir has toured regularly with the Anima Eterna orchestra in Belgium, the Netherlands and further afield in Europe. Previous ventures included a Buxtehude project in the group’s inaugural year, a European tour of Haydn’s Die Schöpfung, and concerts in Paris, Lisbon, Antwerp and at the opening of the Concertgebouw in Bruges. This season, both groups can be heard in an all-Haydn program at the Haydn-Festspiele in Eisenstadt (Schloss Esterháza) and the Bremen Music Festival. Anima Eterna recorded Beethoven’s 9th Symphony last year, and has performed it in Paris, Brussels and Bruges.
