The Vienna Boys Choir was founded in the late 1400s by Emperor Maximillian I as the Vienna Chapel Imperial. The original choir was comprised of boys from different parts of the Holy Roman Empire who sang for imperial court, at Mass, concerts and on state occasions.
More than 500 years later, the tradition lives on with 100 choristers from 30 different nations between the ages of 10 and 14 divided into four touring groups who give more than 300 performances a year throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and the Americas.
