CLOSING CONCERT WITH SINGER PUR
The desire to sing a cappella as an important focus in their lives was clear to the founders of Singer Pur from their school days onwards: shortly after leaving school, five former members of the famous boys’ choir of Regensburg Cathedral realised their dream and founded the group Singer Pur. A love affair then brought a soprano into their ranks. Shortly afterwards, in 1994, the sextet with an unusual combination of voices (a soprano, three tenors, a baritone and a bass) won first prize in the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb (German National Competition), and a year later the coveted Grand Prix for vocal ensembles at the international Tampere Music Festival in Finland, paving the way to become Germany’s leading vocal group. Soon, television and radio appearances, CD recordings, invitations to major festivals and concerts in almost 60 countries ensured an international career. Enjoy the enchanting sounds of Singer Pur at the final concert of CantaRode.
