ENSEMBLES 2008
Vienna Children's Choir
The Vienna Children's Choir was founded in February 2006, during the conceptual changes of the Singschule Wien, by its artistic director Christiane Fischer.
The 70 Girls and Boys are carefully selected by audition and are made up of the most musically talented former 'Singschul children' as well as children, looking for a choir with a high standard. 53 children between the age of 9-15, are participating in the Graz Choir Olympics in July 2008. All Children of the Vienna Children's Choir receive weekly voice coaching in small groups. Once every term there is a rehearsal weekend held in or around Vienna.
In 2007 the choir premiered at the Vienna's Youth Choir Singing, competing against many other Viennese Children and Youth Choirs, and received an excellent rating by the jury.
The Vienna Children's Choir was officially delegated by the Lord Mayor of Vienna Dr. Michael Häupl as Vienna's representative at the World Choir Games 2008 in Graz.
