 The Munich Bach Choir was founded by Karl Richter in 1954, and gained international renown through major tours. After Karl Richter´s death in 1981, the choir was taken over by Hanns-Martin Schneidt, who continued the choir´s extensive concert performing while giving it a new musical impetus. Since autumn 2005, the conductor Hansjörg Albrecht, "a stroke of luck for the Munich Bach Choir", has been in charge of the Choir. Albrecht has made a name for himself not only as a conductor but also as an outstanding organist and harpsichord player. He has conferred on the choir a new artistic style, and a transparent sound quality which is consistently highlighted in excellent reviews by the Munich and international press. The Munich Bach Choir works particularly closely with the Munich Bach Collegium. In addition, the choir has sung with the Bavarian State Orchestra and recently with the Munich Radio Orchestra and the Rheinland-Pfalz State Philharmonic Orchestra. The ensemble has performed under such well-known guest conductors as Bruno Weil, Ralf Otto, Oleg Caetani and Peter Schreier, and with renowned soloists such as Chen Reiss, Elizabeth Kulman, Christiane Iven, Ingeborg Danz, Markus Schäfer, Konrad Jarnot and Roman Trekel.
