Founded in 1498 by Emperor Maximilian I, the Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys Choir) is quite possibly the oldest boys' choir in the world. It is also one of the best known, having performer works with Mozart, Schubert, Strauss and Britten. The choir consists of 100 choristers between the ages of 10 and 14, and spends much of its time on tour. It has, however, maintained its tradition of providing the music for Sunday Mass in Vienna's Imperial Chapel, as it has done ever since 1498.
