Limburger Domsingknaben

The Limburg Cathedral Boys' Choir (in German: "Limburger Domsingknaben") is a famous boys' choir from Limburg, Germany. Their home is the musical boarding school in Hadamar, next to Limburg. The choir was founded in 1967 by the then bishop of Limburg, Wilhelm Kempf. The main task of the choir is the musical accompaniment of the service on Sundays in the Cathedral of Limburg. In addition the choir sings for services in and outside of the Diocese of Limburg and performs many concerts all over the world. The repertoire represents all musical epochs.

Famous ex-members of the choir are Johannes Kalpers (1968–), known as a singer in TV, and the tenor Christoph Prégardien.

Different concert trips by the choir since 1987 were made to the US (1989, 1998 and 2007), Canada (1993 and 2001), Mexico (2000), Brazil (2011), Argentina (2011), Paraguay (2011), South Africa (1995) and other, mostly European countries.
