Zürcher Vokalisten

The a cappella choir Zürcher Vokalisten was founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2002 by its current director Christian Dillig. The choir comprises about 30 singers.^[1] Its repertoire includes both classical and contemporary music and has been described as spanning "from the Renaissance to the present, from jazz to Rossini".^[1][2]

In 2013, at the third national choral competition in Fribourg, the Zürcher Vokalisten shared the Prix Helvetic for the best non-Fribourg choir with the singing school Cantiamo Oberwallis.^[3] In 2013, the label Spektral published the choir's first CD "Blue Bird".^[4][2]

Notable performances by the Zürcher Vokalisten include:

• A 2014 performance themed around William Shakespeare for his 450th birthday anniversary.^[5]
• A 2014 performance of Immortal Bach by Knut Nystedt, which was described as "clean" and "sonorous".^[2]
• A 2015 performance of Rachmaninoff's Opus 37 in Lenzburg, which the choir "made the work a great experience in all its colors"; the audience reportedly requested two encores.^[6]
