Since 1498 the Vienna Boys Choir has been performing and this performance was very enjoyable. The 25 members of this choir, the Schubert choir (the full Vienna Boys Choir is divided into four smaller choirs for touring), with their choirmaster Andy Icochea Icochea performed for approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes. They sang a long list of international songs along with some American and European Christmas carols. The mix of nationalities of the choir is incredible including Austrians, Germans, Slovaks along with a member from Hungary, Bosnia, Russia, Japan and Philippines! The Choirmaster, Andy Icochea Icochea is from Peru adding more to the international makeup of the choir. His piano performance was superb and his presentations to the sold out audience was a great mix of information and humor.
The only complaint was the volume. I understand that the choir does not use amplification but at times the volume was too low especially during solo performances in this sizable venue with a sold out audience.
A very enjoyable evening of international music by an international choir.
