The choir has been in existence for sixty years and has been under the musical direction of Daniela Brantschen since 2023. The current project, featuring works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and César Franck, will be performed in November 2026 at St. Martin’s Church in Chur.

The Bündner Singkreis is a large oratorio choir in Chur, composed of singers of all ages from Northern and Central Graubünden. Some choir members have been active for decades, while others have joined only in recent years. The choir has set itself the goal of performing a major oratorio with an orchestra and soloists every two years at St. Martin’s Church in Chur. Daniela Brantschen has been the conductor of the Bündner Singkreis since 2023. The first project under her musical direction was a 2024 performance of Antonín Dvořák’s “Stabat Mater” in collaboration with the Graubünden Chamber Philharmonic. Daniela Brantschen teaches the singers to train their voices through precisely guided exercises, to breathe consciously, and to connect attentively with one another within the choir. And the joy of singing is never neglected!

We are currently rehearsing the following works, which will be performed in November 2026 at St. Martin’s Church in Chur:
“The Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross” by César Franck (1822–1890)
“As the Deer Pants,” Psalm 42 by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1837)
The Bündner Singkreis is organized as an association. Anyone who would like to sing along can sign up at the start of a project. Membership ends after the concerts, so no cancellation is necessary. Participating in a piece requires regular attendance at rehearsals.
