The St. Thomas Boys Choir is the oldest musical institution of Europe, having been in continuous existence for more than 800 years. Its most prominent director was Johann Sebastian Bach, who held the post from 1723 until 1750. Since 1992 Georg Christoph Biller, a former member of the choir, has been the director and the 15th successor of J. S. Bach.
