(PRINCETON, NJ) -- The fifth anniversary season for Princeton Boychoir will culminate with a gala concert, Brothers, Sing On! Saturday, May 14 at Trinity Church (33 Mercert Street) in Princeon. Audiences will hear selections from all three choirs that make up the region’s premier training and performance choir for boys.
The highlight of the evening will be the world premiere of a newly commissioned choral work by nationally and internationally renowned conductor and composer Rollo Dilworth. A new arrangement of the spiritual Ev’rything’s Gonna Be Alright, the piece truly captures the feelings of hope the choir feels moving forward out of the pandemic and into the future of this exciting organization.
This anniversary season has been marked with milestones from appearing with Michael Bublé in his 2021 NBC special, Christmas in the City to a return to in-person concerts for the first time in 18 months. This summer the choir will make their international debut, performing concerts in Prague and Vienna under the baton of Dr. Dilworth and Princeton Boychoir Music Director Fred Meads.
Tickets are available for Brothers, Sing On! and more information about Princeton Boychoir can be found at WestrickMusic.org/Boychoir.
Princeton Boychoir develops boys into confident young men of character through inspired training in singing, music education, and leadership, who share their musical excellence within the community and beyond. Launched in Fall 2017, PBC has become the premier extracurricular vocal program for boys in the region. The choir is composed of boys from third through twelfth grade, who are placed by audition in one of our three ensembles: Apprentice Choir, Treble Choir, and the Young Men’s Ensemble. Singers are placed by ability, matching each boy with the choir that best suits his vocal, artistic, and musicianship level. In addition to striving for musical excellence, choristers in Princeton Boychoir grow in maturity, self-discipline, focus, and leadership.
Although the Boychoir grew from its sister organization, Princeton Girlchoir, and the two choirs share many traits, there is a unique spirit when “boys’ night” starts every Thursday. Led by Fred Meads, each chorister in Princeton Boychoir strives to be an outstanding musician while developing a sense of poise and self-confidence through education and performance, challenging him to tap into the best part of who he is and what he can accomplish. Now in its fifth Anniversary season, the Boychoir regularly appears on concert stages throughout the Princeton area and beyond. They have appeared on NBC with Michael Bublé in his 2021 Christmas in the City special, at the Baltimore Boychoir Festival, the International Boy’s and Men’s Choral Festival in Arizona, and will make their international debut in Prague and Vienna in 2022.
The Boychoir is a program of Westrick Music Academy, home to Princeton Boychoir, Princeton Girlchoir, and other music education programming for musicians from kindergarten through adulthood.
