The memories of the wonderful and exciting years, the Great musical and personal experiences gained while singing in the children’s choir motivated a group of former members to reunite and to found a female vocal ensemble – in January 2004, students, mothers and young professionals come together to sing for the first time as “Cantilena”. Prof. ElIsabeth Ziegler, conductor of the “Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen”, was entrusted to be the artIstic director of the new women’s choir.
