Amarcord consists of Wolfram Lattke (Tenor), Martin Lattke (Tenor), Frank Ozimek (Baritone), Daniel Knauft (Bass) and Holger Krause (Bass). A breathtakingly homogenous, distinctive sound, impeccable knowledge of musical styles and a good amount of charm and wit are the ensemble’s characteristic features. Amarcord has been successful at many international competitions: In 2002, the ensemble won the Deutscher Musikwettbewerb and as the first vocal ensemble ever the singers were awarded the first prize at the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in 2004. Numerous recordings impressively illustrate the ensemble’s different facets. Many of these recordings were awarded the renowned Contemporary A Cappella Recording Award. The singers have undertaken numerous concert tours throughout Europe and North America. In cooperation with the Goethe-Institut the ensemble gave guest performances in Russia, Jordan, the Lebanon, Australia and South-East Asia.
