LEIPZIG MDR RADIO CHOIR The largest concert choir within the German Broadcasting Corporation (ARD), the MDR Radio Choir has won praise from conductors such as Herbert von Karajan, Kurt Masur, Colin Davis, Simon Rattle, Neville Marriner, Seiji Ozawa, Lorin Maazel, Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Muti and Roger Norrington. A cappella works, sacred music, choral symphonic works and opera choruses form a repertoire that encompasses practically a millennium of musical history, including the contemporary, with numerous world premières. Since 1998 Howard Arman has been conductor and artistic director of the MDR Radio Choir. An illustrious line of predecessors includes Herbert Kegel, Wolf-Dieter Hauschild and Jörg-Peter Weigle.
