For over seventy-four years, The American Boychoir has been regarded as the United States’ premier concert boys’ choir and one of the finest boychoirs in the world. It continues to dazzle audiences with its unique blend of musical sophistication, effervescent spirit and ensemble virtuosity. Its members - boys from grades 4 through 8, reflecting the ethnic, religious and cultural diversity of our nation - come from nine states and four foreign countries to pursue a rigorous musical and academic curriculum at The American Boychoir School, the only non-sectarian boys’ choir school in the nation. Founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1937, The American Boychoir has been located in Princeton, New Jersey, since 1950. In addition to maintaining an active national and international touring schedule, the ensemble performs and records regularly with such world-class artists and ensembles as the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, soprano Jessye Norman, pop diva Beyoncé, jazz vocalist and conductor Bobby McFerrin and Sir Paul McCartney.
It has been extensively recorded and broadcast on radio and television, with some forty-five commercial recordings to its name. During the past year, it has achieved Gold Record status for recordings it made with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Michael W. Smith. A new CD entitled Harmony: American Songs of Faith, the seventh to be produced for its own label, Albemarle Records, was released in October, 2007.
