Philipp Amelung has been the director of Camerata Vocalis since August 2011. He is eager to continue the tradition of his predecessors and, as a result, the choir continues to act as an ambassador for the University of Tübingen abroad and performs concert programmes of less well known or new music. Highlights of these concert tours have been Israel and Palestine (2012), Brazil (2013), Saxony (Leipzig and Dresden 2014) and Sweden (2016).
