ABOUT THE VIENNA BOYS CHOIR

The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the most famous choirs in the world, and one of the oldest. 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 established boys among the singers which later became the Vienna Boys Choir. Today, the ensemble is a private, non-profit organization with a primary and grammar school for 330 boys and girls between the ages of six and nineteen with a focus on choral music and singing. The four boys' choirs perform almost 300 concerts per year, with almost half a million people attending. Since 1924, the choirs have completed more than 1000 tours in 100 different countries, clocking up a staggering 29,000 concerts. On Sundays, the choirs sing mass in Vienna's Imperial Chapel with members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the men's chorus of the Vienna State Opera. They have performed with orchestras led by conductors such as Joana Mallwitz, Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Christian Thielemann, Simone Young, and Franz Welser-Möst; and appear at the Salzburg Festival and at the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic. The Vienna Boys Choir partners with UNICEF and several other charities. In 2023, the Choir celebrated its 525th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Deutsche Grammophon released a live album of the anniversary concert in Vienna's Musikverein, Decca Classics released a box set of 21 CDs, and Böhlau released a book on the Choir's history. In 2024, the Vienna Boys Choir and the Vienna Girls Choir jointly received the European Culture Award. Erasmus Baumgartner has been serving as Artistic Director of the Vienna Boys Choir and the entire Campus Augarten since 2023. The Choir's President is Erich Arthold. viennaboyschoir.net
