THE VIENNA BOYS CHOIR

In 1498, Emperor Maximilian the first, moved his court and musicians from Innsbruck to Vienna. He gave instructions that there were to be six boys among his musicians. For want of a foundation charter, historians have settled on 1498 as the official foundation date of the Vienna Boys' Choir. Until 1918, the choir sang exclusively for the court, at mass, at private concerts and functions and on state occasions.
Today there are around 100 choristers between the ages of ten and fourteen, divided into four touring choirs. The four choirs give around 300 concerts and performances each year in front of almost half a million people. Each group spends nine to eleven weeks of the school year on tour, playing in all European countries, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
The choir's repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary and experimental music.
