The FDC is the oldest (founded in 1920) and largest choir director organization in Germany. The aim of the FDC is to support and promote its members in their tasks through the transfer of knowledge, advice, network building, mutual assistance and inspiration. The 400 members of the FDC are active in all areas of choral singing – from the amateur sector to the university to leading semi-professional choirs. The FDC is proud of the membership of internationally renowned colleagues, but also of all colleagues who do excellent part-time work in Germany’s many amateur choirs. These achievements are an incentive for the FDC to work for an appropriate appreciation of choral singing in the social environment.
