Vienna Boys Choir
Peter Handel-Mazzetti
The comprehensive repertoire of the Vienna Boy's Choir extends
from Renaissance motets and madrigals, romantic choral works -
both sacred and secular - to twentieth-century compositions.
The 100 boys who make up the choir frequently travel abroad. The
boys, aged from 10 to 14, are divided into four separate
performing choirs. The international reputation of the choir is
based not only on their high standards but also on the musical
and technical proficiency of its members and soloists.
The history of the choir goes back to 1498 and the Choir has had
many distinguished Viennese musicians began their careers as
members. Their repertoire is not limited to classical music:
concerts include a wide variety of other music and they are
especially noted for beautiful renditions of Austrian folk music.
Mass with the Vienna Boys Choir is held at the Hofmusikkapelle,
Hofburg Palace and lasts approximately an hour. The choir stands
behind the organ, but it will appear after Mass in front of the
audience so everyone will be able to view them when performing a
few extra chorals.
Gala concerts with the Vienna Boys Choir, the Vienna Chamber
Orchestra and the Chorus Viennensis are held at the Brahms Hall
at the Musikverein (Boesendorferstrasse 12, A-1010 center of
Vienna). The concert lasts approximately an hour and 15 minutes.
