Description

The Vienna Boys Choir visits the Cathedral Basilica. Historians have settled on 1498 as the foundation date of the Vienna Boys Choir. Noted composers such as Heinrich Isaac, Franz Biber, Johann Joseph Fux, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Antonio Salieri, and Anton Bruckner have worked with the choir. “Their tone is pristine, their dynamics perfectly rendered, but of course it is their youth and pure soprano voices that make them unique.” Charleston Post and Courier “The angelic voices of this most famous vocal group are ageless." The Salt Lake Tribune “A superb musical ensemble…[with] clarion sound." Seattle Post-Intelligencer Friends of Cathedral Music presents Glorious Music in a Glorious Place: the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. This year's concert series includes works by Mozart and Handel performed by orchestra, chorus, and soloists. We will host the Three Choirs Festival in January, featuring over 120 voices performing in the Cathedral Basilica. The choirs of Wesley Monumental United Methodist and Christ Church Anglican churches join forces with the Cathedral Choir . The Vienna Boys Choir and Voces8 will visit the Cathedral Basilica in early February in our international choir festival. Vienna Boys Choir will appear on February 6th at 5PM and Voces8 will appear on February 13th at 5PM. We hope you will join us often for "Glorious Music in a Glorious Place"!
