BORDENTOWN CITY — The Bordentown First Presbyterian Church on Farnsworth Avenue is pleased to, once again, present The American Boychoir Friday, Dec. 13.
The performance, which will take place at the church, will take place at 7:30 p.m.
One of Princeton’s most esteemed performing ensembles, the American Boychoir has long been recognized as one of the finest musical ensembles in the country. Under the leadership of Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Litton-Lodal music director, the American Boychoir has dazzled audiences with its unique blend of musical sophistication, spirited presentation and ensemble virtuosity, according to a press release.
The Boychoir performs regularly with world-class ensembles, including The New York Philharmonic, The Philadelphia Orchestra and The Boston Symphony, and is often featured with such illustrious conductors as James Levine, Charles Dutoit and Alan Gilbert.
The American Boychoir is also frequently invited to join internationally-renowned artists on stage, and the list of collaborators reflects the extraordinary range of the ensemble: from great classical artists such as Jessye Norman and Frederica von Stade to jazz legend Wynton Marsalis and pop icons Beyoncé and Sir Paul McCartney.
The choir’s young soloists are also in high demand and have joined forces with The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra and The Spoleto Festival, to name a few.
The Boychoir’s standing as preeminent ambassadors of American musical excellence is maintained through an extremely busy touring schedule both nationally and abroad, having just recently returned from a tour to Korea this past September.
Boys in fourth through eighth grades come from across the country and around the world to pursue a rigorous musical and academic curriculum at the American Boychoir School in Princeton.
While keeping up with academic demands, the boys balance schoolwork with an intensive-touring schedule. In addition to the almost 100 solo concerts, the 2013-14 season includes a 16-day tour in Korea, a performance of Britten’s War Requiem with the Boston Symphony Orchestra marking the 50th anniversary of the American premiere which the Boychoir (then the Columbus Boychoir) performed, holiday concerts in Princeton with the Canadian Brass and a performance of Mahler’s 3rd Symphony performed with Princeton University’s own Orchestra and Glee Club.
