Westhampton Beach - In an exclusive Long Island performance before heading to
Carnegie Hall, The Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center will welcome back the resounding voices of the internationally celebrated
Vienna Boys Choir on Saturday, December 11 at 8 p.m.
Angels have nothing on the Vienna Boys Choir! With voices of unforgettable beauty, The Choir presents timeless music with universal appeal. Their highly diverse, crowd-pleasing repertoire includes classical masterpieces, beloved pop songs, medieval chants and holiday favorites.
Famous for their Christmas albums and TV specials, The Choir holds a central place in Vienna's cultural life. There, the choir boys celebrate Mass, sing with the Vienna Philharmonic and perform onstage with the Vienna State Opera. In sailor suits crisp as their diction, 23 boys, none older than 14, exhibit a stunning level of discipline in every aspect of their inspiring performances.
Leading the group will be, recently appointed choirmaster,
Andy Icochea. Peruvian-born Icochea takes a slightly different approach to presenting the boys, establishing ongoing "conversations" with the audience, briefly announcing the overall program and introducing each selection.
This is a performance for the entire family to enjoy in preparation of the holiday season. Never just a concert, The Vienna Boys Choir is an event for music lovers of all ages.
