The Boston Boy Choir is the performing arts arm of the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School operated under the auspices of Saint Paul Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  During the school year, the Choir sings in the classical choral tradition at St. Paul Church on Sunday at the 11:00 a.m. liturgy, and on most weekdays at the 8:00 a.m. liturgy.  Major choir events at Saint Paul’s include the Christmas concert, performed three times in December, and the spring concert in May, featuring a major work performed with orchestra and soloists.    The Boston Boy Choir frequently performs for the community at large.  The boys have sung with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Symphony Hall, at Tanglewood, and in Carnegie Hall.  The Choir has also sung with the Boston Pops Orchestra and the Tanglewood Festival Chorus in “Christmas with Pops,” programs which have been televised both locally and nationally.    The Choir has recorded Berlioz’ Damnation of Faust and Mahler’s Eighth Symphony with the Boston Symphony.  Other works in which the Choir has sung include Mass by Bernstein and The Magic Flute by Mozart performed with the Opera Company of Boston, as well as Honneger’s Joan of Arc at the Stake, Puccini’s Tosca and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.   In June 2000, the Choir visited Chicago and performed at the Woodstock Opera House and at St. Wenceslaus Church. The Choir has twice toured Washington, DC singing at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, at St. Matthew Cathedral, and at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.  In Montreal, Quebec, the Choir sang at St. Joseph Oratory, and sang both the Canadian and American national anthems at a baseball game between the Montreal Expos and the Atlanta Braves.  The Choir has sung the Star Spangled Banner several times before Red Sox games at Fenway Park in Boston.
