Founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1937, the American Boychoir has long been recognized as one of the finest musical ensembles in the world and has dazzled audiences with its unique blend of musical sophistication, spirited presentation and ensemble virtuosity.

The American Boychoir performs regularly with world-class orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra and Boston Symphony Orchestra. It often features such illustrious conductors as James Levine, Charles Dutoit and Alan Gilbert. As an icon of American musical excellence, the American Boychoir has been invited to sing for every sitting US President since John F. Kennedy.
