Advent Lutheran Church (1700 Irby Ln.) welcomes the Minnesota Boychoir on Thursday, June 20, at 7 p.m.

The choir’s deep repertoire includes challenging sacred, classical, secular, folk and contemporary choral music sung in more than 30 languages and dialects. The organization boasts over 150 singers ages 6–18, 42 of whom will be on the 2024 tour in Tennessee—18 singers ages 9–14 and 24 singers ages 15–18.

Each season, the young men spend hours in rehearsal, build community through music retreats and tours, and perform concerts in churches, hospitals, schools, retirement homes and concert venues across the globe.

For six decades, the Minnesota Boychoir’s reputation for excellence has resulted in invitations from local and national music conventions as well as sporting events, theater productions and touring Broadway companies. The Boychoir has performed with the Minnesota Orchestra, the Minnesota Opera, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony, the Prague Philharmonic, and a long list of local, regional, and national performing artists, ensembles in 20 states and on five continents.

In celebration of the choir’s 50th anniversary, the group toured Italy in 2011, a trip which included a performance for Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica at the Vatican.
