Zbor Via-Nova iz Münchna je leta 1972 ustanovil Kurt Suttner in v 35 letih vodenja pustil močan pečat. Februarja 2008 je zbor prevzel Florian Helgath. Izvajajo predvsem sodobno glasbo, pa tudi klasično zborovsko literaturo. V preteklosti je zbor Via-Nova izvedel številna dela sodobnih skladateljev iz Münchna in je s svojimi 43 prvimi izvedbami pomembno pripomogel k promociji sodobne glasbe in k ustvarjanju spodbudil številne mlade skladatelje.

Zbor je gostoval na Tajvanu, v Južni Koreji, Avstriji, Italiji in na Norveškem (koncert v počastitev devetdesete obletnice Knuta Nystedta). Prejel je številne prve nagrade na pomembnih mednarodnih tekmovanjih v Den Haagu (1977), Corku (1985/87), Budimpešti (1991) in Tolosi (2009).

Osvojil je prve nagrade na državnem tekmovanju bavarskih zborov leta 2009 in na tekmovanju nemških zborov v Dortmundu leta 2010. Prejel je tudi posebno nagrado za izvedbo sodobne zborovske glasbe na državnih tekmovanjih leta 1994 v Fuldi in 2010 v Dortmundu.

The via-nova-choir Munich was founded in 1972 by Kurt Suttner who left his unmistakable mark in his 35 years of conducting the choir. In February 2008 Florian Helgath was elected  the new musical director. The Ensemble is particularly dedicated to the performance of contemporary music without neglecting the vast classical tradition. In the past the via-novachoir has performed many musical works by modern-day Munich composers. With 43 premiere performances, the choir has contributed considerably to the promotion of contemporary music and has encouraged the work of many young composers. A number of concert tours has taken the choir all over the world to places such as Taiwan, South Korea, Austria, Norway (a concert in celebration of Knut Nystedt’s 90th birthday in 2005) and Italy. Via-nova-choir has also won several first prizes in a number of internationally acclaimed choir contests such as: Den Haag (1977), Cork (1985/87), Budapest (1991) and Tolosa (2009). On a national level the chorus won first prizes at the Bavarian Choir Competition (2009) and at the German Choir Competition in Dortmund (2010), as well as receiving a special award in the performance of contemporary choral music at the German Choir Competition in Fulda (1994) and in Dortmund (2010).
