He then moved to the Department of Church Music in the Archbishopric of Cologne, where he was appointed Musical Director for Sacred Music in 2006. In 2014 he was appointed honorary professor at the conservatory of Cologne, where he had been teaching since 2000. He is (co-)editor of many publications with a focus on music for choirs. In 1986 Mr. Mailänder founded the ‘Figuralchor Koeln’, with whom he has performed many important classical works for mixed choir as well as works written specifically for that choir by renowned contemporary composers.
