The name of the choir honours Kurt Thomas, who as Three Kings Choirmaster (1945-1957) helped church choral music to gain a high reputation.

Last projects were Handel’s oratorios “Israel in Egypt”, “Judas Maccabaeus”, “Messiah”, “Dixit Dominus” and “Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day”, all oratorios by Mendelssohn and a-cappella-programms “Magnificat”, Hassler’s Missa octo vocum, Isaac's Missa de Apostolis, Martin’s Mass and Rheinberger’s Missa, Distler’s Choral-Passion, Poulenc’s Mass, Penderecki’s Agnus Dei (1936), Howells’ Requiem (1936), Spohr’s Mass op.54 (1821), Williams’ Mass in g minor (1922), Lachner’s Mass in F, op.130 (1859), Hassler’s Missa octo vocum or Draeseke's Mass in a minor, Hauptmann's Mass in f minor or Schneider's Missa in a (1815).
