Celebrate the start of the holiday season with a choir of crystalline young voices raised in song! The world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir returns to Berkeley on Thanksgiving weekend, decked out in their trademark sailor suits and bearing a "garland of carols of many nations" (New York Classical Review).
The talented and rigorously trained boys, aged 9-13, hail from more than a dozen countries and carry on a six-century Viennese choral tradition. They sing a joyful program of Austrian folk songs, classical masterpieces, and Christmas hymns and carols from around the world, including favorites like "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "Joy to the World," "White Christmas," and their very own rendition of "Stille Nacht," the original Viennese version of "Silent Night."
~~~~~~~~
The origins of the Vienna Boys Choir and their signature harmonies date back to 1498 A.D. Through the ages they have upheld a longstanding tradition and have produced prestigious alumni including Joseph Haydn and Franz Schubert. To this day, their celestial voices, pure tone and wide-ranging repertoire continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
