The angelic-voiced musicians of the Vienna Boys Choir present a delightful program of Austrian folk songs, classical masterpieces, and Sacred hymns. For six centuries, these young cultural ambassadors have been adored the world over for their wide range of repertoire, purity of tone, and generosity of musical spirit.The Wiener Sängerknaben or Vienna Boys’ Choir is the world’s foremost children’s choral group. It is also among the oldest of all musical organizations, having been founded pursuant to an Imperial decree of Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I on July 7, 1498; the Emperor wished boys’ voices to be added to the choir of the Imperial Chapel, or Hofkapelle. This established a tradition of having the boys sing in weekly Sunday masses in the Imperial Chapel of the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, a tradition that continues today.
