Until 1918, the Vienna Boys Choir sang exclusively for the imperial court at Vienna’s Imperial Chapel, at private concerts and functions and on state occasions. Today the choir features over 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14, divided into four touring choirs, who perform in front of almost half a million people each year.
