Joel Lai, son of Elder David and Lee-Sah Lai, is settling in nicely in his new surroundings at Augartenpalais, the home of the Wiener Sängerknaben (Vienna Boys Choir). His first day with the Vienna Boys’ Choir was on 9 January 2012 when he successfully underwent his final audition. The Vienna Boys’ Choir has its own boarding school at the Augartenpalais, a baroque palace and former imperial hunting lodge in Vienna. All boys are assigned to one of the touring choirs named after 4 of Austria’s greatest composers – Joel is in the Haydn Choir. Academic lessons are taught in small groups. The school has a band, and offers extracurricular activities ranging from sports (baseball, basketball, judo, soccer, rollerblading, swimming, fencing) to attending concerts, operas, plays, musicals and movies. Joel is the first Malaysian boy to join the Vienna Boys’ Choir and is a credit to his former choir, our very own St Andrew’s Jusz Kidz Children’s Choir.
