Minnesota Boychoir

Mission Statement:
The Minnesota Boychoir challenges boys and young men from many backgrounds to the highest standards of choral music, nurtures the development of exceptional character, and inspires and benefits the community.

The Minnesota Boychoir:
Founded in 1962, the Minnesota Boychoir is the oldest boy choir in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul metropolitan area. The Boychoir’s reputation for excellence has brought invitations from local and national music conventions, as well as sporting events and touring Broadway companies. The Boychoir has performed with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Prague Philharmonic, Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion on National Public Radio, amongst others. The 2014-2015 season includes collaborations with the Minnesota Orchestra, local musician Alison Scott, Celtic singer Katie McMahon and Theater Latte Da for their production of Oliver!. Highlights also include concerts at Landmark Center in Saint Paul, Ted Mann Concert Hall in Minneapolis, and the new Ordway Concert Hall.

The choir’s schedule includes national and international tours, thrilling audiences in over a dozen states and on five continents. In 2007 to celebrate the Boychoir's 45th Anniversary, the boys headlined the World Voices Australia International Choral Festival at Sydney’s famed Opera House. Our 50th Anniversary Season began by touring to Milan, Venice, Florence and Rome, Italy in June 2011, featuring a performance for Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican and culminated with solo performances at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis and the State Capitol.
