The Dachau Chamber Choir, which has existed for more than 20 years, is conducted alternately by Christiane Höft (Peace Church) and Rainer Dietz (Assumption of Mary). It was formed in 1997 from a small group of initially just seven people who had gotten together out of an interest in choral music. In addition to a wide variety of demanding choral works, the chamber choir has also performed oratorical works with soloists and orchestras in Dachau and other cities such as Rosenheim, Landshut, Augsburg, Munich and Nuremberg since 2000.
