Training

Date and time are told by the director.

The entry level of the Graz Kapellknaben is at the age of six to seven years of age. The aim of this first, one-year training program is the unanimous singing of child-friendly songs. Canon rounds provide first, hands-on in polyphonic singing. The weekly, individual voice training lessons promote the unique and individual development of each singer’s voice. Performances, on a small scale, expose the singers and help to convey a sense of achievement..

In the third year the boys reach the level that they are eligible to experience and be part of both the concert choir as well as solo singing opportunities. The concerts provide additional performance experience and above all, a sense of pride and achievement. Small concert tours and a summer camp in the summer holidays help to create unity and build friendships within the group.

This is the top ensemble of the Graz Kapellknaben. The boys of the concert choir perform demanding tasks including concerts, opera and radio productions.

For advanced singers. This level allows for the possibility for soloist performances. Opera houses and concert organizers, both locally and abroad engage with the Kapellknaben requesting their participation in their productions.

There is a time when the voice of the boys will change. Within this time, the boys can certainly continue to participate in some activities of the Kapellknaben. Here, they are encouraged to follow good voice care and instructed in basic knowledge of music theory.
