The choir's extraordinary commitment is reflected in regular concerts. The choir's high level of performance is confirmed by the fact that it has won prizes at national and international competitions. The choir participates in concerts and festivals throughout Europe and beyond in Argentina.

The choir's director, Christoph Haßler, is a full-time teacher at the State Study Seminar for Primary Schools in Kaiserslautern. He began his musical career as a child in the Südwestpfälzer Kinderchor. He is a welcome guest at choir festivals and competitions with the Südwestpfälzer Kinderchor and the women's chamber choir ex-semble, which he founded, and has won several first prizes. At the Marktoberdorf International Chamber Choir Competition, he won second prize with ex-semble.
