Boys with talent are scouted around the country based on a beautiful singing voice, musical ear and drive. Together they form a group that captures the hearts of listeners with great energy and a unique sound. For several years, soloists have also been trained in the National Boys Choir. Our boy soloists have sung important solo roles, including with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Netherlands Chamber Choir and most recently in die Zauberflöte with the National Opera.
Boys from the soloist class additionally performed in the operas Laika Of Martijn Padding and Sister Bertken By Rob Zuiddam, Eva's Song (from the opera As Light) by Stockhausen at the Holland Festival, the Chichester Psalms of Bernstein and, for example, in the Requiem By Fauré.
