Later the boys can become
members of the Men’s choir, if they are interested in pursuing their singing.
The Choir has toured many times in Italy and also in USA, Belgium, France,
Germany, Finland, The Netherlands and Portugal. The choir performed 1996 at the
Vatican City in the presence of Pope John Paul II in the framework of the
Christmas Concert together with outstanding musicians. The choirboys are also
regularly invited at the Zurich Opera House to sing in Mozart’s Magic Flute and
are equally invited to sing for the opera houses of Lyon and Strasbourg. The
choir collaborate with the Chamber Orchestra of Zurich directed by Howard
Griffiths and with the Hungarian Chamber Orchestra Remény. Under the leadership
of Christoph Poppen the choirboys recorded a CD of Haydn’s “Missa San Gotthardi”
in collaboration with the Munich Chamber Orchestra.
Alphons von Aarburg
is the artistic director and
founder of the Zurich Boys’ Choir. For over 50 years, the accomplished pianist,
trained at the Zurich Music Academy. He was taught by renowned musicians such as
Hedy Kraft and Ceslaw Marek (piano), Franz Pezotti (choir leadership, music
theory and choral singing). For many years, Alphons von Aarburg taught music as
one of the principal teachers of the Music Department of the Teacher Training
College of the Kantonsschule Ausserschwyz. As the Zurich Boys’ Choir
subsequently gained in popularity, size and fame, the choirmaster decided to
focus entirely on what is actually his own lifework.
Reményi Ede Chamber
Orchestra was established in
Miskolc in 1981 by the members of the most talented stringers of Bartók Béla
Secondary School of Music.
Károly Gál violinist was not only
the founder of the orchestra, but also its music director for 25 years. After
his death in 2007, his student,
Tamás Kriston took over his
duties. Its work and activity fills a gap, since Reményi Ede Chamber Orchestra
is the only chamber orchestra in the region. Its name sounds familiar not only
in Europe but in the Far East as well. As a participant, it is always welcome at
the concerts of the world famous Boys Choir Zurich. Among our repertoire there
can be found not only chamber music, but symphonies, oratories and operas as
well from Renaissance to contemporary music.
