The Boys Air Choir The Boys Air Choir was founded in 1996. It's
aim was to produce the highest quality boys choir and this was achieved
by selecting the best trebles from the best known English Cathedral and
College Choirs. It has 7 -8 members and the choirmaster who has been
Connor Burrowes since his voice broke. Because of the boys commitments
to their own choir and school, tours and recordings are usually done in
the holidays. Usually a tour is arranged to Japan (where the choir has
been most successful) in the Summer holidays. Recordings are often made
in London studios and then transferred to Japan where they are mixed
and released on the Victor label. The first album released by
the choir (1997) was 'Requiem' featuring treble solos by Connor
Burrowes which sold more than 50,000 copies in Japan alone. It was
followed by an EP of Christmas Carols called 'Believe'. These carols
have now been added to the Requiem CD which is available in the USA
distributed by Justin Time music. The Boys Air Choir second full CD
featured the treble voice of Connor's brother Edward Connors and was
called 'Bluebird'. This was also highly successful in Japan and is also
distributed by Justin Time in the USA. This has been followed by
another 5 full albums - Air, Boys on Bach, Boys Gregorian, In
Paradisium and Boys Air Choir Merry Christmas. There has also been a
re-release compilation album called 'Memories - Best of Boys Air
Choir'. Other choirboys that have had significant solos on
these albums are Patrick Burrowes (another brother), Tristan Hambleton,
Dominic Collingwood and Harry Sever. Choir
