Vienna Girls' Choir
View on WikipediaThe Vienna Girls' Choir (German: Wiener Chormädchen[1]) is a choir of twenty-five girls between ten and fifteen years. Formed in 2004 in Vienna, Austria,[2] the choir was a part of the Wirth Music Academy under Gerald Wirth, who was the former artistic director of the Vienna Boys' Choir. Currently, the girls receive the same training as the boys and visit the same campus at Augarten Palais, perform independently and are being taught according to the methods of the Vienna Boys' Choir.
