Paris
Our concert weekend in Paris at the beginning of February was something truly special for us—not only because it marked our debut in France, but also because of the city’s unique atmosphere. In the impressive setting of St. Roch, we performed a program of sacred vocal music and introduced ourselves to an entirely new audience. Between rehearsals and the concert, we also enjoyed a touch of French flair with croissants and a bit of sightseeing.
Our days in Paris will remain unforgettable—full of inspiration, new impressions, and special musical moments..

Thank you to all our listeners for sharing these special concert evenings with us.
Klangvolle Heldinnen - Bruneck
The stories are still echoing — what a wonderful evening at the Ragenhaus in Bruneck! The special atmosphere, the attentive audience, and the many warm responses truly moved us.

Our heartfelt thanks go to the South Tyrolean Cultural Institute, which invited us and made this evening possible.
A big thank-you as well to Erich Feichter, whose keen sense for sound and beautiful lighting design created the perfect setting.

Concert Tour May 2025: Darkness and Light
In early May, we set out on a small concert tour with our program “Darkness and Light” and had the joy of performing at three wonderful venues for enthusiastic audiences. We were guests at the Stunde der Kirchenmusik in Esslingen, the AllgäuKonzerte in Isny, and the International A Cappella Week in Hanover. Each evening was a special experience for us – we are deeply grateful to all the organizers and to our amazing audiences for their support and for the unforgettable moments we shared.
Looking back: Voices of Heroines
A truly special evening at Schwere Reiter: together with Gesine Cukrowski, we brought to life—through words and music—the stories of four remarkable women from history: strong, inspiring, and too often overlooked.
The program featured works by women composers, and we were especially delighted that one of them, Evelyn Klaunzer, was there in person.
We are grateful for this moving experience and look forward to revisiting it in autumn!
On Sunday, January 12 2025, we had the pleasure of performing our program "A merry little Christmas" once again at St. Nikolaus in Rosenheim, to wrap up the holiday season together with all of you.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year!
