American Boychoir is set to present their Graduation Concert June 8.

The choir’s annual commencement exercises and concert are scheduled for 3 p.m. June 8 at the Princeton University Chapel.

Both the concert and training choirs will perform as part of the ceremony and will include music sung during the choir’s current tour to France as well as from the soundtrack of their fall movie release Boychoir.

Boys in fourth through eighth grades, reflecting the ethnic, religious and cultural diversity of the United States, come from across the country and around the world to pursue a rigorous musical and academic curriculum at the American Boychoir School in Princeton.

While keeping up with their academic demands, the boys balance schoolwork with an intense national and international touring schedule. In addition to the almost 100 solo concerts, this season included a 16-day tour to Korea, a performance of Britten’s War Requiem with the Boston Symphony Orchestra marking the 50th anniversary of the American premiere which the Boychoir performed, holiday concerts in Princeton with Canadian Brass, filming a movie called Boychoir with Dustin Hoffman, and ends with a 12-day tour in France celebrating the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
