Founded in 1962 and based in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul area, the group focuses on developing the vocal talents of boys ages 7 to 18. It also focuses on helping them develop character and self-confidence.

The ensemble performs regularly in the Twin Cities area and has also toured throughout the U.S. and internationally, including Australia and Italy. The musicians have performed with the Minnesota Orchestra and Baltimore Symphony, and on “A Prairie Home Companion.”
