The internationally acclaimed Vienna Boys Choir, one of the best-known boys’ choral ensembles in the world, will star in an unforgettable concert Saturday February 16 at 7 p.m. in Fort Lauderdale.
Presented by the South Florida Symphony as part of its 15th anniversary season, the performance is to feature 24 trebles and altos from Austria and other countries singing inspirational classical music.
The Fort Lauderdale concert is to take place at the First Baptist Church, in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
The Vienna Boys’ Choir dates back to 1498 at the court of Emperor Maximilian I of Austria. Today it consists of approximately 100 singers, ages 10 to 14, divided into four touring choirs that perform throughout Europe and in Asia, Australia and the Americas.
Their musical repertoire ranges from medieval to contemporary and experimental selections. The boys are equally skilled at performing major choral and symphonic works, children’s operas, world music, pop and even unique arrangements of Beatles songs.
The program for their appearances is to include choral classics, Austrian and world folksongs, music from films and selections written by legendary Viennese composer Johann Strauss Jr.
Tickets for the Fort Lauderdale concert range from $10 to $250 per person depending on seat location. They can be purchased at www.southfloridasymphony.org.
