The Vienna Boys Choir returns to Silverdale to kick off their Made in Austria US Tour! This memorable program includes favorite Strauss waltzes, classical masterpieces by Mozart and Haydn, folk songs, and modern hits from Broadway stage.The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the world’s most famous and oldest choirs. Boys have sung at Vienna's Imperial Chapel since at least 1296. In 1498, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I established a Court Chapel in Vienna, specifying that boys be included among the singers—thus laying the foundation for the Choir.
Today, the former imperial ensemble is a private, non-profit organization with a primary and grammar school serving 330 boys and girls ages six to nineteen, with a curriculum centered on choral music and singing. The Choir’s education, recognized by UNESCO as cultural heritage, is open to all, regardless of origin, gender, nationality, or religion.
There are currently 90 active choristers divided into four touring choirs, all performing as the “Vienna Boys Choir.” Together, they give nearly 300 concerts each year to almost half a million listeners. Since 1924, the Choir has completed more than 1000 tours to 100 countries, performing some 29,000 concerts.
