German Boy Choir Costumes: Aurelius Sängerknaben Calw


Figure 1.-- The boys and young men of the Aurelius Sängerknaben Calwduring are seen here at a concert trip to Japan in 2000.

Aurelius Sängerknaben Calw was founded in 1983 by its first conductor, Mr. Hans-Jörg Kalmbach at the local school of music. But he has recently retired. Their new conductor is Mr. Johannes Sorg. When travelling and when serving at mass, this choir wears at both times the same costume. The boys wear a white shirt and a blue pullover with a white circle on the left, which has got a blue "A" on it. The elder members wear a dark suit with tie. This costume seems quite a common one. We have also noted the choristers wearing a grey outfit with large Eton collars. This may be their costume fore religious services. On one occassion the boys wore a turquoise t-shirt showing the name of the choir in capital letters. But this is only temporary.
