Founded in 1964 by Kevin Casey, the National Boys Choir of Australia has established itself as one of Australia’s finest treble choirs.
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 the 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’s busy schedule includes regular television, recording and major event appearances such as the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games opening ceremony and official CD, 2006 Melbourne Commonwealth Games, Grand Prix, Bledisloe Cup and of course the Vision Australia Carols by Candlelight at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl since 1988.
