Under the title Gloria Polyphoniae Belgicae, the Bonn Chamber Choir presents a sacred concert program that covers a wide range: from Franco-Flemish vocal polyphony, which influenced the entire European art of composition in the 15th and 16th centuries from what is now Belgium, to works of German and Belgian Romanticism and the modern era. The program includes Renaissance choral works by Josquin Desprez, Orlando di Lasso and Jacobus Vaet, 19th century motets by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, César Franck, Max Reger and Jules van Nuffel as well as contemporary compositions, including the challenging Magnificat by the well-known Belgian composer Vic Nees as the central work.

The Bonn Chamber Choir under the direction of Georg Hage is one of the leading concert choirs in Germany and is one of the outstanding ensembles in the federal city of Bonn. Regular appearances at the Beethoven Festival, invitations to the Bach Days Cologne and the International Choral Biennale as well as radio broadcasts, most recently of the double-choir mass by Frank Martin, are proof of the choir's high quality, as is the second prize at the German Choir Championships in Koblenz 2022.
