The chamber choir of the HfMT under the direction of Prof. Cornelius Trantow won 1st prize in the category "Mixed choirs with 32 or more participants" at the 10th German Choir Competition in Freiburg

A total of 54 choirs and vocal ensembles were awarded prizes at the 10th German Choir Competition in Freiburg from May 5 to 13, 2018. Around 5,000 singers from 116 choir formations came to the university city in Breisgau to compete in Germany's largest competition for amateur choirs, organized by the German Music Council. Prior to this, all ensembles from the 13 advertised categories - including mixed choirs, male, female and youth choirs, children's and jazz choirs as well as vocal ensembles - had qualified for the final in Freiburg in state competitions.

The German Choir Competition brings together the best German amateur choirs every four years. For the 5,000 participating singers, the idea of encounter and dialog plays an important role in addition to the performance comparison. The participation of international jurors and experts enables the exchange of experiences on an international level. In addition, the German Choir Competition offers its own seminars for choir conductors and awards conducting scholarships. The aim is to offer sustainable support beyond the competition.
