Background

The Vienna Boys’ Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben), one of the world’s oldest and most illustrious choral institutions, returns to Japan in 2026 for a highly anticipated nationwide tour. This tour is particularly special as it commemorates the 100th anniversary of the choir’s first-ever concert tour in 1926. Designated as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, the choir consists of four touring groups named after Austrian composers; the “Bruckner Ensemble” (Bruckner-gumi) is the featured group for this Japan visit, bringing their trademark “angelic voices” to a culture that has adored them for over 70 years.

The performance at Tokorozawa MUSE Arc Hall on May 2nd serves as one of the early highlights of the spring tour. The program typically alternates between Program A (Classical Masterpieces) and Program B (World Hits). The Tokorozawa concert is set to feature Program A, a curated selection that spans centuries of European tradition—from Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus and Beethoven’s Ode to Joy to Strauss’s iconic waltzes. As a gesture to their Japanese hosts, the choir also performs the beloved Japanese song Furusato, creating a cross-cultural bridge through their pure, crystalline harmonies.
