Frauenchor Altstätten
Switzerland, Swiss Confederation
Since 1890, the women’s choir enriched the cultural life of his homeland as a secular amateur choir. The choir organises its own concerts, or acts together with other choirs or ensembles. Periodically, the choir ventures into bigger projects. The women participated at festivals in Salzburg (2007) and Venice (2010), and presented Stabat Mater by Pergolesi in St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna (2013). For their 125th anniversary in 2015, they performed the St. John Passion by Johann Sebastian Bach in cooperation with singers of befriended choirs.
