Founded in 1997 in St. Josef by choir director Georg Willen, the choir has since cultivated a wide repertoire of new sacred music, worship songs, gospel music, and secular songs in German and English. In the summer of 2016, Anne-Ilse Placke took over as director, before passing the baton to regional church musician Ralf Stiewe in the fall of 2016.

The choir sings regularly at church services - not only at St. Josef - and once a year as part of a concert featuring all the parish ensembles at St. Antonius.
