History.
Heinz Hennig, the conductor of the Knabenchor Hannover from its founding in 1950 to 2001, founded the girls choir in 1951, and initially led the group. From 1952 to 1977, Ludwig Rutt directed the choir. From 1978 until his death in 1999, Rutt shared the leadership with Gudrun Schröfel, who then took over. Similarly, from 2017 she shared leadership with her designated successor, Andreas Felber who took over in 2019.
The choir recorded for German and international broadcasters, and for CDs. Several former members became musicians, some of them professional singers. The choir has achieved prizes at international competitions beginning in 1964.
