The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the oldest and most famous choirs in the world. Boys have been singing at Vienna’s Imperial Chapel since at least 1296. In 1498, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I established a Court Chapel in Vienna where he declared that boys would be among the singers, thus laying the foundation for the Vienna Boys Choir.
Today, the former imperial ensemble is a private, nonprofit organization with a primary and grammar school for 330 boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 19, with a focus on choral music and singing.
The four boys choirs perform almost 300 concerts per year. The group returns to Allied Solutions Center this season with a program titled “Strauss Forever.”
This concert is part of the Printing Partners Encore Series.
