Almost 100 choirs and ensembles gathered in Hanover at the beginning of June for the German Choir Competition. The championship, organized by the German Music Council, brings together the best choirs from the various German states.

Ensembles from northern Germany were among the prize-winners. There was a second prize each for the youth choir of the Mädchenchor Hamburg in the age group up to 13 years and the group Vocoder, made up of former school music students from the HfMT.
In the second part of the competition, Vocoder also received a special prize for their latest CD released by Rondeau.

Vocoder was founded in Hamburg in 2016. Since then, the six singers have been working closely with Hamburg composers. The compositional achievements of Henning Wölk, baritone, are particularly outstanding. His arrangements and compositions are unique. This opinion is shared by the world-famous King's Singers, with whom Vocoder has already worked, as well as professors at the Hamburg University of Music.

One of Vocoder's particular strengths lies in its stylistic range. This ranges from folk songs to pop, jazz and funk. For some time now, songs from the Renaissance and madrigals have also been part of the repertoire.
