BURLINGTON, ON
The angelic-voiced musicians of the Vienna Boys’ Choir bring their delightful program of Austrian folk songs and classical masterpieces to The Burlington Performing Arts Centre on Saturday, October 15th at 8pm. For six centuries, these young cultural ambassadors have been adored the world over for their wide range of repertoire, purity of tone and generosity of musical spirit.
The Vienna Boys’ Choir, which played to sold-out audiences in Burlington in 2015 and 2017, is the world’s foremost children’s choral group. Over the centuries, illustrious composers have written
masterpieces for the Boys’ Choir, including Mozart, Bruckner, Gluck and Schubert. This beloved touring group of alto and soprano boys between 10 and 14 years of age will take to the stage to perform both classical and more contemporary songs, from Ava Maria to more recent hits such as the Banana Boat Song.

“The global pandemic has badly affected all performing arts organization and artists, and the Vienna Boys’ Choir, both as a school and as artists, is no exception. They are a private organization which does not receive any government subsidies or public funding. During COVID they were forced to cancel well over 700 performances. Burlington is one of only a handful of Canadian dates on The Vienna Boys’ Choir schedule this fall – so it is an absolute delight to be able to present this incredible International group to our patrons on their current tour, aptly titled the “Together” tour, as part of our 22-23 Season,” says BPAC’s Executive Director, Tammy Fox.
The Burlington Performing Arts Centre’s 2022-2023 ‘BPAC Presents’ Season is sponsored by Mercedes- Benz Burlington.
