Meath boy accepted into Vienna Boys' Choir

A young boy from Co Meath has become the first Irish person to be accepted into the prestigious Vienna Boys' Choir.

Eleven-year old Evan Pyne from Dunboyne was invited to join the choral group two months ago after a week-long audition in Austria.

Evan already has a string of awards and scholarships for playing piano and trumpet.

The 500-year-old choir comprises 100 choristers aged 10-14 and has worked with the likes of Mozart and Schubert.
