Today we have to announce some very important news. Here's Tobias' announcment:

"Dear Calmus-friends,
After almost 13 years and now 810 concerts within the group it’s time to announce that I will leave Calmus at the beginning of 2020.
Thus ends for me a major chapter of my life so far. Over my years in Calmus we experienced, achieved, traveled and sang so much together but most important I met my wonderful wife Anja in Calmus. We’re celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary today and we have our two amazing kids. To be there for them more often I decided to leave the group and to go other or even new ways. I will definitely stay connected with Calmus behind the scenes. Of course, this is not a decision I came to lightly. But it feels right to be there and at home for our children especially when both parents, Anja and me are away together.
However, until then we will be going on and sing a lot more of concerts, give workshops, will stay for countless kilometers in cars, trains and airplanes, travel the US three more times and will hopefully collect some more funny anecdotes to keep as souvenirs."

Soon we will provide further information about finding a successor for Tobias,how to apply and so on.

We wish you all a merry Christmas and a very happy, peaceful, blessed and healthy new year 2019!

Again, a year is over and we thought to create a picture book with some nice sounds from us for you. We're looking back to a year which was filled with concerts and music, of course, but also with saying good-bye to Sebastian, with welcoming Stefan, with lots of traveling to some really amazing places, with two recording sessions (stay tuned for the second one released in Spring), with loads of rehearsals and much fun...

We're thankfully looking back and are really looking forward to the new, our 20th Anniversary, year!

Following a busy season with concerts in Belgium, France, Austria, throughout Germany and three US tours, Sebastian will sing his final concert with Calmus in August and will leave after being the countertenor in the group since its first days 19 years ago. While we are obviously sad to say goodbye to Sebastian, we are also very happy to announce that Stefan Kahle will be the new countertenor of Calmus! After an intense audition process, Stefan completely convinced us all with his stunning voice and engaging personality, and we’re really looking forward to the next chapter for Calmus starting in September 2019, celebrating our 20^thAnniversary season!

Stefan Kahle was born in 1992 and, like Sebastian and Ludwig, he has his musical roots in the St. Thomas Boys Choir, where he was a member from 2003 until 2011. After his time as a chorister, Stefan moved to Basel (Switzerland) to study vocal performance with Prof. Gerd Türk at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. For several years, he has been performing regularly as a soloist and ensemble singer in Germany, Switzerland and Austria, and now it is our pleasure to welcome him as a member of Calmus starting next season.

We're departing today for our annual US Spring tour and are really looking forward to come back to old places as well as discovering new ones.

Come and hear us performing Shakespeare and Luther programs in San Antonio (4/23), Sheridan (4/26), San Francisco (4/28), Lacey (4/29), Portland (4/30), Kalamazoo (5/5) and New York City (5/7).
