Die Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys' Choir, also The Vienna Choir Boys) is a vocal ensemble established by Maximilian I of Habsburg on 7 July 1498, based in Vienna. In 1924, the Vienna Boys' Choir was officially founded, and it has evolved into a professional music group. The choir is a private, not-for-profit organization, there are approximately 100 choristers between the ages of ten and fourteen, based and educated at a boarding school. Due to the excellent training many former members have established a soloist musician career later on.
