The Swiss Youth Choir / Chœur Suisse des Jeunes is one of ten ensembles from eight countries invited to take part in the renowned German chamber choir competition Marktoberdorf in May.
Founded in 1994 by Hansruedi Kämpfen and Pascal Meyer, the Swiss Youth Choir is an annually reconstituted ensemble with members from all parts of Switzerland and language regions. It opens the door to professional training for young talents.
The choir has been supported by the Swiss Choral Association (SCV) and the Swiss Federation Europa Cantat (SFEC) from the outset. In Marktoberdorf from May 17 to 22, 2013, it will meet choirs from Germany, Finland, France, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Serbia and the USA.
