Vienna Boys Choir
Hear the angelic voices of the Vienna Boys Choir in a special program featuring classical masterpieces and holiday favorites. One of the world’s oldest and most revered choral groups, this illustrious group of child musicians has delighted music lovers around the world for more than five centuries with the exquisite purity of their voices and phenomenal sound.
Boys have been singing at Vienna's Imperial Chapel since 1296. In 1498, Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna and instructed there were to be six singing boys among his musicians. This marked the foundation of what is known today as the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the Viennese Court attracted musicians like Mozart, Salieri, and Bruckner; Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choristers.
