The award-winning troupe was founded in 1974 by H.S.H. Prince Rainier III to showcase the Principality’s historic association with culture and the performing arts. It is a part of the Monaco Cathedral Choir, founded in 1904, and is composed of 25 boys from ages 9 to 16. The Monaco Boys Choir, especially popular for their unusual repertoire of works written for children, have visited more than 40 nations around the world.
