Wilhelm Pitz was a German chorus master and conductor. He re-established the Bayreuth Festival chorus for the postwar revival of the festival in 1951 and continued as its chorus master for twenty years. He was also chorus master of the Vienna State Opera, and in 1957 he selected and trained the singers of the newly created Philharmonia Chorus in London, remaining their chorus master until his retirement in 1971.
