Helmuth Emil Froschauer (22 September 1933 – 18 August 2019) was an Austrian conductor, especially a choral conductor who received his first training as a member of the Wiener Sängerknaben. He conducted the choir from 1953 to 1965, including 22 international tours. He went on to conduct the choirs of the Wiener Singverein, the Vienna State Opera and the WDR Rundfunkchor Köln. As a close collaborator of Herbert von Karajan from 1989, he prepared choirs for the Salzburg Festival among others.
For many years, Froschauer and two other colleagues have also conducted the Sunday masses in the Vienna Hofburgkapelle [de], in which the Wiener Sängerknaben also took part.[6] Froschauer died in Vienna at age 85.[2][5]
