Vienna Boys Choir

Continuing a centuries old tradition, 100 choristers from 30 different nations between the ages of ten and fourteen, divided into four touring choirs give around 300 concerts and performances each year in front of almost half a million people. Each group spends nine to eleven weeks of the school year on tour. They visit virtually all European countries and are frequent guests in 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 Lanner and Strauss – and in keeping with the season, be prepared to enjoy a few holiday classics!
