It's taken me a while to stumble across this video but thank you for posting it. I have many many many memories of singing in the Loggia and this is bittersweet revisiting such a significant part of my childhood.
Does anyone know what boys choir currently exist in America, not including those that are predominantly community based and hence non-residential? Was the American Boychoir the last of the major national boys choirs to be disbanded? If so, it is so sad to see the end of a tradition that Europe still embraces and cherishes. There is nothing so ethereal as the pure angelic sound produced by pre-pubescent boys. And the training that boys received provided a great foundation for future performance whether as professionals or extremely talented amateurs.
This choir has many of the boys who did participate in the movie, but this choir was a year before the movie recording. Also, unfortunately the school is closed now.
Just what it means. See the shots of stuff packed to move out? The Boychoir left this home for an expensive rental that helped bankrupt and close the school. We are at Albemarle for sixty years.
Great video, exceptional teacher, amazing boys and blessed voices. Thanks for sharing.

The board of directors should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen!
I wish there will be more movies like The Boychoir to be produced.

Which boys´choir was cast in the movie "Boychoir" with Dustin Hoffman ???
+Kruzifan - Same one!
+jamiwats Thank you. Am I right that the choir in the meantime has become insolvent and doesn´t exist any more ???
+Kruzifan - No, the choir (and Boychoir School) is still functioning - somewhat downsized -and undergoing bankruptcy review.
+jamiwats In the meantime I attended the FB account...:)))

What is meant by the last rehearsal at Albemarle?

Bad stuff happened there.
Yes 25 years ago!
