Cappella Aquensis Aachen

Hello and welcome to Cappella Aquensis! Thanks for visiting our website!

We are a free and mixed choir in Aachen and our repertoire ranges from a-cappella music from the Renaissance to contemporary music all the way to big oratories and masses from all centuries.

Well, are you interested and would you like to get to know us? Then, click here or scroll down for more info or use the links in the upper menu. We’d love to get to know you!

Cappella Aquensis was formed in 1963 by a splitting of the Aachen Cathedral Choir.

As a free concert choir with about 45 members, we have an extensive repertoire of secular and religious choral music. We perform not only ambitious and international a-cappella music from the Renaissance all the way to the modern era (ca. twice a year), but also large orchestral oratories and masses (every 2 years).

In contrast to most other choirs in and around Aachen, we provide the musical accompaniment to High Mass in Aachen Cathedral – singing Latin masses and motets – about 3-4 times per year. In addition, we regularly travel with the choir to perform elsewhere, both in Germany and abroad. We are currently planning a trip to Cambridge, UK in 2019.

Since January 2018, Ulrich Brassel is our new Choral Director.
