No group of child musicians is more renowned than the incomparable Vienna Boys Choir, founded by Emperor Maximilian I in 1498. Six centuries later, the famed Vienna Boys Choir continue to delight music lovers across the globe with their purity of tone, distinctive charm, and a diverse, crowd-pleasing repertoire that encompasses Austrian folk songs and waltzes, classical masterpieces, beloved holiday favorites, and medieval chant.
The choir recently completed one of the biggest and most successful tours in its 500 year history. The format has been changed to make the beautiful music more accessible for family audiences. Parents and grandparents afraid to take their kids to see a “grown-up” Beethoven symphony will bring them to see the Vienna Boys Choir as ideal family fare.
The Vienna Boys Choir has their own school consisting of almost 250 children that study and rehearse in the Augartenpalais, a baroque palace in Vienna. Beginning with kindergarten, boys and girls are provided with a complete musical and general education through the elementary grades. At age 10, the most talented boys are selected to join the choir.
There are about 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14 that are divided into four touring choirs. The four touring choirs give about 300 concerts and performances each year in front of almost half a million people all over the world. Each group spends nine to eleven weeks of the school year on tour.
