With a tradition stretching back five hundred years, The Vienna Boys’ Choir is as quintessentially Viennese as cakes, coffee and the famous Ringstrasse. Haydn and Schubert were choristers, Bruckner rehearsed the choir and, to this day, the boys sing solemn mass in Vienna’s famous Hofburg chapel. This lovely concert includes a taste of old Vienna (charming music for boys’ voices by Haydn, Brahms, and Bruckner) alongside some lighter items by Johann Strauss and Billy Joel.
