Ein Chor erobert die Welt

For over 525 years, boys have been singing in the Vienna Burgkapelle, making music with brilliant musicians and during historical grand events. Some world careers have begun here: Franz Schubert was a court singer boy, Joseph and Michael Haydn sang as "substitutes" in the choir, and Anton Bruckner was the court organist and teacher of the choir boys. Glorious imperial diets, magnificent court festivities: the associated logistics and everyday challenges create a fascinating overall picture of a long-standing European cultural institution, the oldest in Vienna.
