The Vorau Choir was founded on December 23, 1894. The first chairman was Dr. Hans Mühlbauer. At the beginning, the association consisted of 9 male and 20 male singers.
The regular meetings and rehearsals took place in Paul Spitzbauer's (nowadays Rechbergerwirt). The club's first motto came from Dr. Hans Mühlbauer and Johann Pannocha:
"German singing at any time, heart gladdens for life".
