On Saturday, March 6th, 2010, the Cincinnati Boychoir will celebrate the 45th anniversary of its first rehearsal.
The Boychoir will begin the celebration of its anniversary season with a program entitled “Mystics & Madmen” on Saturday, March 13th, at Christ Church Cathedral, and Sunday, March 14, at St. Mary Church Hyde Park. The program will feature all three choirs in works that highlight the ethereal nature of boys’ voices; selections by Delibes, Glass, Faurè, and Casals range from the intimate and sacred to the just plain bizarre.

As a prelude to the anniversary, we will be posting a ‘track of the week’ here on our blog. This week’s selection, the Shaker Tune “Welcome Here” comes from the Boychoir’s first album, The Cincinnati All-City Boys’ Choir 1969-1970, conducted by the founding director, Bob McSpadden.
In an attempt to create a more complete history of the Boychoir, the staff encourages any former Boychoir singer (particularly those from the ‘60s and ‘70s) to get in touch with the Boychoir office, or to fill out the Alumni Information form.
Stay tuned for more historic recordings and more information about our Anniversary celebration!
