German National Youth Choir & Florian Benfer - Nachtschichten (2017)

The German National Youth Choir is a select national ensemble of highly talented and ambitious choir singers. Since its creation in 1999, the ensemble has given young musicians between the age of 16 and 27 the opportunity to work on demanding choral music at the highest artistic level as well as become acquainted with a wide range of repertoire. The project-related professional work attracts gifted young singers to come together in their free time for work phases at different locations six to eight weekends each year. The intensive work with the choir enables the ensemble to develop its own choral sound that is characterized by pure intonation, uniformity and a high sense of transparency. Through their collaboration with professional ensembles and their choir directors, as well as composers, music publishers, music archives and conservatoires, they are continuously expanding their horizons.
