The Choir Council

The choir council is elected by the Berlin Cathedral choir from among its members. The council acts as the liaison between the choir and the choirmaster and supports him in all primarily non-artistic tasks. In addition, the council is responsible for passing and amending the Choir Regulations and organizing events to foster community among choir members. Council members are the primary point of contact for all singers in the choir.

The current council is composed of the following six members, elected in May 2023:

• Karen Hartwig (Alto)
• Birgit Hottenbacher (Alto)
• Grit Hübschmann (Alto)
• Henrik Iversen (Bass, Spokesperson for the Choir Council)
• Martin Schmidt (Tenor)
• Paul Gaitzsch (Bass)
