The Bratislava Boys’ Choir has been part of the Slovak artistic scene since 1982. Today, the group is part of a private music school with about 80 students aged 7 to 28. The concert ensemble has 45 members. Years of collaboration with symphonic orchestras (The Slovak Philharmony, The Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra, The Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra) have enriched the choir’s repertoire with dozens of oratorios, cantatas, and symphonies (J. S. Bach, L. Bernstein, B. Britten, A. Honegger, G. Mahler, C. Orff, C. Penderecki, M. Ravel) under world-renowned conductors (B. de Billy, A. Parrot, F. Luisi, R. Muti, G.Tate, A. Rahbari, M. Guettler).
This concert has been organised with the kind support of BALTICOVO, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Slovak Republic in Riga.
