Vienna Boys Choir

For those of you who haven't heard this before, the Vienna Boys' Choir is divided into four sub-groups or touring choirs. The choirs are of equal standing; the tours, appearances in Vienna and recording projects are shared among them. Each choir has a choirmaster, and two tutors or prefects who travel with the boys.

The choirs are named after famous Austrian composers associated with the choir's history, Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. The choir still performs much of their music.

The Vienna Boys' Choir strives to create an environment in which boys can fully develop and realise their personal and musical potential. Choristers learn to express themselves on a professional level in many different styles of music, and they are provided with the tools to set them on the road to - should they wish it - a professional career in music.

The experiences a boy has whilst a member of the Choir, in particular the concerts and the touring, stay with him for life; the Choir aims to make these experiences as diverse as possible.

We aim to teach the boys to become well-rounded, independent, generous and open human beings. The education is available to all talented boys, regardless of their backgrounds.
