The choir is supported with 800,000 euros. “Together we will save the Vienna Boys’ Choir,” Nehammer said afterwards. The boys’ choir must be able to ‘enter the coming year without existential worries’.
The Vienna Boys’ Choir looks back on a tradition dating back to 1498. At that time, the future Emperor Maximilian I moved his court and his court music from various residences to Vienna and laid the foundation stone for the Vienna Court Music Orchestra and the Vienna Boys’ Choir. The approximately 100 singers between the ages of 9 and 14 are divided into four choirs that perform all over the world. Since 2004, the Vienna Choral Girls have existed in parallel and performed separately.
Arthold had sounded the alarm about the impending bankruptcy. The choir, which is run by a non-profit organization, did not have the resources to continue activities until the end of the season at the end of August, he told Kronenzeitung. According to Arthold, the choir generates two-thirds of its income through approximately 300 international concerts per year. After the slump due to the corona pandemic, operations are running again, but the costs for rooms, hotels, flights and staff have risen sharply. “You can’t pass that on to the public, otherwise it won’t happen,” says Arthold.
