The Wachholz College Center is thrilled to welcome the world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir to the Flathead Valley on October 18th. The Vienna Boys Choir brings centuries of choral tradition to the 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. 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 19, with a curriculum centered on choral music and singing. The Choir’s education, recognized by UNESCO as a 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.”
Tickets are $39 and can be purchased by clicking here.
Event hosted by Flathead Valley Community College.
