The “Frankfurter Kantorei” church choir grew out of the choir of Frankfurt’s Dreikönigskirche church founded in 1945. It's conductor Winfried Toll, like his predecessors Wolfgang Schaefer, Helmuth Rilling and the founder Kurt Thomas, is an expert of international renown in choral music and a celebrated conductor.
The versatility of the Frankfurter Kantorei allows - besides oratorial and a-cappella-works - special projects like "The three penny opera" with the Ensemble Modern and concert series, together with the institute for contemporary music of the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts.
Frequently the Frankfurter Kantorei is ambassador for the German and Frankfurt music scene, i. e. on a concert tour to Armenia in 2001, participating in the celebrations of 700 years of the Armenian christianity and in the spring of 2009 performing the official opening concert of the centennial celebrations of the citiy of Tel Aviv. Other concert tours took the Frankfurter Kantorei to the U.S., Canada, France, Italy, the Republic of South Africa, Turkey, Russia, Finland and Japan.
