Marymount Music in Vienna!

The Marymount International School choir embarked on a whirlwind performance tour to Vienna on Thursday 14th January. During their four days in this historic city, the students will perform four concerts: two at retirement homes, Haus Rudolfsheim and Haus Hetzendorf; two at churches, St Stephen’s Cathedral and St Peter’s Church; as well as giving a short recital at the United Nations building at the Vienna International Centre.

In addition to their performances, the students will have the opportunity to take in the sights of the famous city. They will visit the Haus der Musik, a modern, interactive museum dedicated to sound and music, where visitors are invited to actively participate in the exhibits; as well as the Spanish Riding School, the oldest equestrian school in the world, with origins dating back to 1572. On Sunday the students will also have the opportunity to take Eucharist at The Imperial Palace, where Mass will be sung by members of the famous Vienna Boys’ Choir.
