‘Hear My Song’: The American Boychoir

Hallmark Hall of Fame movies are known to tell stories that are heart-warming, inspirational, and entertaining. One that will air this April 16 on CBS is the story of how a mischievous young boy got his life straightened out by a taskmaster choir director at the American Boychoir Boarding School. Although the boy had a devilish behavior, he had an angelic voice. The movie stars Hollywood legend Dustin Hoffman as the strict disciplinarian choir director who wins the boy over with music.

It’s an inspirational story that features a lot of good music throughout the movie, sung by The American Boychoir. And wouldn’t you know this same American Boychoir is coming to our Niswonger Performing Arts Center for a concert on April 10 for a 3 p.m. matinee performance. What a great opportunity for you to hear these angelic voices from Princeton, New Jersey!

Structured in the style of the traditional and historic English boychoir sound, the American Boychoir has long been known as the preeminent young music choral ensemble in America and among the finest in the world! They have been honored to perform for U.S. presidents since John F. Kennedy, and with such elite performers as Sir Paul McCartney, Wynton Marsalis and pop icon Beyoncé, as well as performing with some of the finest orchestras in the world.

We are extremely honored to have been selected to host this outstanding ensemble during its spring tour. The group is actually replacing another boychoir, Libera, which was unable to make it here from England. Libera was scheduled for April 3 and now we are pleased to be able to replace them with The American Boychoir on April 10.

I hope you get the chance to watch this movie, Hear My Song, on CBS April 16.  But first, make sure you hear these boys live at the Niswonger in Van Wert. Their appearance is brought in part by Strategence Capital LLC/Tim Stoller, financial advisor, in Van Wert, as well as supporters of the Van Wert Area Boychoir.

Our local boychoir will be the great benefactors of this event, as members will be able to socialize with the Princeton boys during a dinner and later a workshop. We are extremely pleased to be able to provide an exceptional opportunity for our boys like this.
