PART of the final concert in New Zealand by the Vienna Boys' Choir (above) will be broadcast over a nation-wide link of the four YA stations and 3YZ and 4YZ, on Thursday, May 27. The broadcast will be relayed from the St. James' Theatre in Auckland, and will comprise the first half only of the concert, beginning at 8.0 p.m. Details of the programme were not available at the time of going to press. This is believed to be the third New Zealand tour of the Choir, whose 22 members are all aged between 10 and 14, and it has been greeted with packed houses at each of its concerts in the four main cities and 14 provincial towns. The history of the Choir extends back to its founding in 1498 by decree of the Emperor Maximilian, and it has maintained the highest standards of excellence throughout its existence. Mozart, Haydn and Schubert were all at various times members of it, Mozart bringing with him his opera "Bastien and Bastienne," which is still in the Choir's repertoire.
