Wiltener Saengerknaben - About the Abbey of Wilten Boys' Choir in Innsbruck, Tyrol Re-established in 1946, the tradition of the Abbey of Wilten Boys' Choir dates back to the 13th century. Today choirboys assemble in the Abbey of Premonstratensian Canons for solo vocal training and rehearsals. The repertory includes sacred music for performance at church services and concerts as well as a wide spectrum of secular music ranging from classical children's song by Brahms, Mozart or Schubert to authentic Tyrolian folk songs, from anthems to popular melodies of opera and operetta. Vocal power and musical versatility have distinguished the reputation of this choir. The boys have sung with renowned orchestras like the Innsbruck Symphonic Orchestra Tyrol (Blue Danube Waltz and other famous pieces by Strauss at the New Year's Concert in Innsbruck) or the Philharmonic Orchestra of Temesvar (Haydn's Creation). The choir has appeared many times at major international, national and regional events (World Championsship of Ski 2001, Congress of 1.000 Cities for Europe, 2001), and broadcast on TV and radio (MDR, ORF, ZDF). Past highlights include a two-month visit to Japan in 1982. Other countries in which the Abbey of Wilten Boys' Choir has been invited to perform include Denmark, France, Germany, Israel, Italy and Switzerland. In opera the choir has appeared in Innsbruck and Bolzano with The Magic Flute from Mozart, Carmen, The Cavalier of the Rose, The Cunning Little Vixen, Macbeth, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Turandot. The practice of a mixed choir where treble and alto is sung by the boys, tenor and bass by those whose voices have broken, has the tremendous advantage that works by the old masters can be sung in the original: Bach's St. John Passion BWV 245, Haydn's Missa Cellensis Hob XXII:8 and Creation Hob XXI:2, Mozart's Masses KV 257 and 337 (certain available on CD).
