Tölzer Knabenchor was founded in 1956 by the then 19-year-old grammar school graduate Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden in Bad Tölz. In the same year, they were invited to perform radio concerts. In 1957, the first concert tour to South Tyrol and Trento followed, and in 1960, a trip to Luxembourg, France, England and Belgium. Since 1963, Carl Orff has been a regular guest and conductor. He recorded his Schulwerk with the choir. From the 1960s on, the choir and its members participated in opera performances. In 1964, for example, soloists from the choir participated for the first time in a performance of Mozart's Magic Flute. wikipedia
