Vienna, Austria

back to the 2002 tour page

 

Today we visited the Augartenpalais, home of the Vienna Boys Choir school. Maestro Wirth worked with the boys for a while. We rehearsed with the Mozartchor, then performed a recital together in the salon of the palais. Lots of fun! After leaving the school, we went to downtown Vienna where we shopped and had dinner.

 

Maestro Wirth works with the PBA boys in the rehearsal room.

This is St Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna. After going inside, the boys asked if they could sing. Our courier Gabi managed to secure a slot Wednesday morning for us to test the acoustics
