The Vienna Boys Choir in concert
The Vienna Boys Choir’s only New England appearance on their Spring 2019 tour was at St James’s Episcopal Church. This performance in West Hartford was a rare opportunity to hear the famed choir sing in the choir-friendly acoustic of a traditional church setting rather than in a large municipal auditorium or concert hall. The Vienna Boys Choir performed music by Purcell, Brahms, Orff, Biebl, Piazzolla, Bernstein, Whitacre, Strauss, and more, to a sold-out, rapturous audience audience.
