Slowakischer Philharmonischer Chor

Choir

The Slovak Philharmonic Choir was founded in 1946 by Ladislav Slovak as the Mixed Choir of Czechoslovak Radio and has been one of the ensembles of the Slovak Philharmonic in Bratislava since 1957. Its repertoire comprises a cappella programmes as well as choral-symphonic works and music theatre. Since the 2023/24 season the choir has been directed by chorus master Jan Rozehnal. It works with orchestras such as the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Wiener Philharmoniker and was honoured as best choir at the Oper! Awards in 2023. In 2008 Cybele Records released Bernd Alois Zimmermann’s Requiem für einen jungen Dichter with the participation of the choir.
