Hans-Ulrich Henning founded the choir in 1979 together with pupils of the Christophorus School in Versmold. Key competency in the arts lies at the centre of the schools education system of the "Christian Association of Youth Villages" sponsor. The choir, with six hours of rehearsals, professional vocal training and frequent week-long choir camps, enjoys exceptionally good opportunities for development. Thus, it is not surprising that the choir has won numerous first prizes in national and international competitions.
The programs of the Christophorus Youth Chamber Choir include sacral and secular choir pieces from the Renaissance to the modern music as well as sophisticated arrangements of the light music - from a cappella to the pieces accompanied by the orchester. The vocal diversity confirms that at all times and in all places the singing is accorded a special social value - in line with the choir motto:

"Singing is breathing, breathing is living!"
