TICKETS: $45 RESIDENT | $55 PUBLIC
With a rich history that dates back to early 15th century, the Vienna Boys Choir is composed of nearly 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14. Divided into four touring choirs, each group spends nine to 11 weeks of the school year on tour. Collectively, they perform as many as 300 concerts each year for almost half a million people in Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
The choir's repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary and experimental music. Motets and lieder for boys’ choir form the core of the touring repertoire, as do the choir’s own arrangements of quintessentially Viennese music, waltzes and polkas by Lehar, Lanner and Strauss. Since the 1920s, the Choir has collected music from around the world. One of the Choir's goals is to introduce the boys to as many different styles of music as possible. The choir has also commissioned a number of world music projects.
