Programme | Secular & Sacred Choral Literature from the CD BUNT

Maria Luiase Senn-Drewes: This CD BUNT offers a small retrospective of the colorful work of Stimmpfeffer. It includes choral works in the classical style as well as pop and jazz arrangements. All pieces are sung a cappella in the usual Stimmpfeffer style.

The STIMMPFEFFER chamber choir has been in existence since fall 2010 (it began as a youth choir) and is made up of singers from the greater Hall area in Tyrol. A wide variety of programs are developed during the weekly rehearsals. The group devotes itself just as naturally to sacred and secular music from many eras, with its concerts in the "PopArt" series, featuring modern pop and jazz arrangements, enjoying particular popularity.

The choir director Maria Luise Senn-Drewes is not only interested in having fun singing but also in the high-quality performance of the programs, which are mostly sung a capella. This work has already been rewarded with several awards: with an "Excellent Success" at the regional youth singing competition as well as being sent to the national youth singing competition in 2013. The choir also received an "Excellent Success" at the overall Tyrolean competition in 2016.

In 2017, the choir was awarded the title of "Excellent" at the national youth singing competition in Graz and also received a special award for an outstanding "vocal arrangement" of a choral piece. In the same year, the choir received the Tyrolean State Prize for Choirs and Vocal Ensembles, awarded by the State of Tyrol and the Tyrolean Singers' Association.
