Dresdner Kapellknaben

The Dresdner Kapellknaben are a boys' choir in Dresden with a history of more than 300 years, rooted in the Saxon court. Their home is the Kathedrale Sanctissimae Trinitatis, the former Hofkirche, where they sing at services and in concerts. Boys aged 9 to 19 are trained in a four-stage programme and rehearse in a day boarding school. The choir performs sacred and secular music from all periods, with a focus on works by Dresden court composers such as Heinrich Schütz and Jan Dismas Zelenka.
