Knabenkantorei Basel, Switzerland
The Knabenkantorei Basel (KKB) emerged from the Singknaben of the Protestant Reformed Church of Basel-Stadt, which was founded in 1927. Today, the choir is non-denominational and sings sacred and secular choral music. A cappella performances, church services, large symphonic concerts, participation in countless productions at the Theater Basel and appearances at various renowned music festivals fill the diverse calendar of the young singers. As a cultural ambassador, the KKB regularly tours Europe and abroad. The choir has won multiple prizes at international competitions. The singers receive a thorough musical education and are individually coached and supported. Oliver Rudin himself attended the KKB choir school. He studied choral conducting, school music and cultural management, has received multiple awards and works as a singer, music teacher and director of various ensembles. Since 2017, he has been the director of the KKB.
