1 · Wiltener Sängerknaben (Wilten Boys’ Choir)
Characteristic features of the Wilten Boys’ Choir – besides the traditional Wiltener costume – are their voices. A special singing technique developed by Johannes Stecher is responsible for giving the boys' voices a bell-like sound, a unique intensity and strength. The choir’s repertoire ranges from sacral pieces to traditional alpine folk songs, works by Johann Strauß, Carl Orff, Guiseppe Verdi and Carl Zeller.
