Under the leadership of Fernando Malvar-Ruiz, Litton-Lodal Music Director, the American Boychoir has dazzled audiences with its unique blend of musical sophistication, spirited presentation, and ensemble virtuosity.
Boys in fourth grade through eighth grade, 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, New Jersey. The legacy of the American Boychoir is preserved through an extensive recording catalog, which boasts more than 45 commercial recordings and the launch of its own label, Albemarle Records.
Camden was Walt Whitman’s home town and gave much inspiration to his poetry; the choir thought no better place than to share their new album than at Cooper, in the heart of Camden. Whitman’s attending physician at the time of his death in 1892, Dr. Alexander McAllister, was a practicing physician at Cooper and also later a trustee of the Walt Whitman Association. Whitman’s home, now a museum, is located just two blocks from the hospital on Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The Walt Whitman Association was originally founded as a group of Whitman friends and supporters during the author’s life in Camden. The Walt Whitman Association is the oldest existing Whitman society in the world. Its mission is to support the preservation of his home in Camden and to promote the life works and legacy of America’s “Great Poet of Democracy.”
