Boys have been singing at Vienna's Imperial Chapel since 1296. In 1498, Emperor Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna, thus founding the Chapel Imperial, and the Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the court attracted musicians like Christoph Willibald Gluck, Antonio Salieri, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Anton Bruckner; Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were themselves choir boys. Until 1918, the boys sang exclusively for the imperial court – at masses, celebrations, and on state occasions. 自1296以来，男孩们一直在维也纳皇家教堂演唱。1498年，马克西米利安一世皇帝把他的宫廷搬到维也纳，建立了皇家教堂和男童合唱团。几个世纪以来，宫廷吸引了许多音乐家，如克里斯托弗·威利巴尔德·格鲁克、安东尼奥·萨列里、沃尔夫冈·阿玛多伊斯·莫扎特和安东·布鲁克纳；约瑟夫·海顿、米歇尔·海顿和弗朗兹·舒伯特也曾是合唱团成员。直到1918年，男孩们一直只为宫廷演唱——在弥撒、庆典和国家的场合。
Today, there are 100 choristers between the ages of nine and fourteen, divided into four groups. Between them, the choirs give around 300 concerts each year, attended by half a million spectators around the world. Since 1924, 2502 choristers have sung over 1000 tours in 98 different countries. 现今，合唱团有100名九岁至十四岁的合唱团员，他们被分为四组。合唱团每年举办大约300场演唱会，全世界有五十万名观众观看了演出。自1924起, 2502个合唱团员已经在98个国家进行了1000多次巡回演出。
On Sundays, the Choir performs with the Vienna Philharmonic and the State Opera Chorus in the Imperial Chapel, as it has done for the last 520 years. 在星期日，合唱团与维也纳爱乐乐团和国家歌剧合唱团一同在皇家教堂演出，就像过去的520年一样。
The Choir performs with major orchestras, conducted by the likes of Zubin Mehta, Riccardo Muti, Franz Welser-Möst, Simone Young. A highlight are appearances at the Vienna Philharmonic's New Year’s Concert, most recently in 2016 under the baton of Mariss Jansons. 合唱团曾在祖宾·梅塔、里卡尔多·穆蒂、弗朗兹·威尔瑟-莫斯特、西蒙娜·扬等大师指挥下，与世界知名的管弦乐团一起演出。最引人注目的是维也纳爱乐乐团的新年音乐会，最近一次是2016年在马里斯·扬颂斯指挥棒下亮相。
Since their first recording in 1907, the boys have recorded 377 shellacks, singles, LPs, and CDs – the latest, “Strauss For Ever”, to be released on Deutsche Grammophon in September 2018. 自从1907年他们的第一次录制以来，男孩们已经录制了377张留声机唱片、单曲、黑胶唱片和CD——最新的专辑《永远的施特劳斯》，将于2018年9月由德国唱片公司发布。
Numerous films and documentaries attest to the choir’s international appeal. Filmmaker Curt Faudon has produced four major films about the boys. “Good Shepherds” (2017) has them singing with Maasai warriors, Sami reindeer herders, and primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall. 多部电影和纪录片证明了合唱团的国际吸引力。电影制片人柯特·弗东制作了四部关于男孩的电影。在《好牧人》（2017）中，他们与马赛勇士、萨米族驯鹿牧民和灵长类动物学家珍妮·古道尔博士一起演唱。
300 boys and girls attend the Choir's schools. A quarter of the schools’ alumni become professional musicians. The Choir’s education and singing tradition is listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage in Austria. Professor Gerald Wirth is the choir's president and artistic director. 300个男孩和女孩在合唱团的学校读书，四分之一的校友成为专业的音乐家。维也纳童声合唱团被联合国教科文组织列为“世界非物质文化遗产”。杰拉尔德·维尔特教授是现任合唱团董事会主席&艺术总监。
