Chorus sine nomine
The vocal ensemble Chorus sine nomine has performed widely both in and out of its native Austria, collaborating with a large variety of vocal and instrumental musicians. Chorus sine nomine means "choir without a name" in Latin; curiously it is one of several choirs by that name, but it is probably most successful of them. Based in Vienna, Chorus sine nomine was founded in 1991 by Johannes Hiemetsberger, who remains its music director. International notice came almost immediately as the choir was invited to perform in Italy in 1992; the rest of the 1990s saw performances in Germany, France, Taiwan, and the U.S., as well as in Austria itself. Among the top international venues to have hosted Chorus sine nomine are the Munich Philharmonic Hall, the Ravenna Festival, the Barbican in London, and the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. The choir won the European Broadcasting Union's chorus contest in 2001. Beyond recitals of mainstream repertory, Chorus sine nomine has performed thematic concerts like "Cry," "Frost," and "Happy Birthday." They have commissioned a number of new works by Austrian composers, including the Johannespassion of Wolfgang Sauseng. The group has worked with instrumental ensembles of various kinds including those oriented toward early music, and they have been conducted by Jordi Savall. Among the choir's 2018 programs was Bruckners Bibliothek (Bruckner's Library), featuring music by composers whose music was found in the library of Anton Bruckner (Palestrina, Joseph and Michael Haydn, Mozart, Johann Baptist Schiedermayr, and Robert Schumann). Beginning with an album of Bach motets in 2009, Chorus sine nomine has recorded for the Gramola label and, as of 2017, the Alpha label. They appeared that year with the historically oriented Orchester Wiener Akademie in Liszt's Faust Symphony, and the following year with the same group in Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125.
