Wiener Sängerknaben
Conductor: Manolo Cagnin
The singing boys of Vienna first appeared in Budapest more than 90 years ago, in 1928; since then the globetrotting children’s choir, after many changes of generation, have become ‘old favourites’ of Hungarians thanks to their records, TV appearances and concert performances. Mare nostrum, that is, our sea, is how the Romans called the Mediterranean, and the 2020 tour of Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys’ Choir) offering a rich, varied and carefully thought-out programme, also bears this name. They touch on a host of peoples, cultures and religions, launching with a Gregorian hymn to Mary before circumnavigating the Mediterranean with a Spanish song, Italian hit, Israeli and Lebanese melodies, all performed in the choir’s hallmark cristal clearvoice.
We regret to inform you that the 27 March 2020 date of the Wiener Sängerknaben has been changed! The concert will be held 4 October 2020 7:30 pm at the Grand Hall with the same programme! Tickets and season tickets purchased for 27 March 2020 are valid for 4 October 2020.
Thank you for your kind understanding!
