National Boys Choir of Australia (Ringwood)
The Choir is made up of approximately 200 boys aged between 7-15 commencing with a 2 year training period before moving into the Performing Choir.
Founded in 1964, the National Boys Choir of Australia has established itself as one of Australia's finest treble choirs. Choristers develop vocal production based on the traditional European bel canto style.
The level of commitment and self-discipline expected of the choristers is high as they are required to attend weekly or twice weekly rehearsals and regular music workshops. This training enables boys to present challenging repertoires with music ranging from early motets through to contemporary commissioned works and fully staged children's operas, as well as musical comedy, art songs and folk songs from many lands.
The Choir is often called on to sing with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Opera Australia and Victorian Opera. The busy schedule includes regular television, recording and major event appearances and the Choir has performed under internationally recognised conductors and has toured internationally on many occasions.
As it proceeds from strength to strength, the National Boys Choir of Australia continues to consolidate its place as one of a number of superb cultural organisations based in Melbourne and contributing to and affirming Australia's rich and diverse cultural identity. It proudly represents the very best of both Melbourne and Australia in all its appearances both at home and internationally.
