Philadelphia Boys Choir and Chorale
\nEstablished in the 1960s, the Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale has toured the world, recorded with internationally renowned orchestras and soloists such as Luciano Pavarotti, appeared on national and international television, and received praise from critics and audiences worldwide. It is known as America\u2019s Ambassadors of Song and ranks among the best boy choirs in the world.
\nThe Emmy-winning and Grammy-nominated Philadelphia Boys Choir has performed under the batons of Maestros Eugene Ormandy, Riccardo Muti, Zubin Mehta, Klaus Tennstedt, Wolfgang Sawallisch and Yannick N\u00e9zet-S\u00e9guin in concerts with the Philadelphia Orchestra. The Choir has appeared on Good Morning America, Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and many other television programs. It is often featured to sing at Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles games.
\nBased in Philadelphi\u0430, \u0430 city with rich musical history and traditions, the choir has performed with the Philadelphia Orchestra, Philadelphia Ballet, the Philly POPS, Opera Philadelphia, and the Curtis Institute. Venues have included the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, the Academy of Music in Philadelphia, and Carnegie Hall in New York City.
\nThe early roots of the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale were set in the Philadelphia Public School system of the 1960\u2019s. In 1968, Dr. Robert G. Hamilton took over the All Philadelphia Elementary School Boys Choir, founded by Dr. Carlton Jones Lake, and eventually made it an independent entity. Dr. Hamilton transformed the organization, through his passion for quality and his dedication to music, mentoring and to fostering goodwill around the world through music. Dr. Hamilton remained artistic director for 37 years.Today, the Philadelphia Boys Choir & Chorale is under the direction of Jeffrey R. Smith, who is also an alumnus of both the Choir and the Chorale. <\/p>\n
