Public Appearances
On January 20, 2009, forty-three boys from the SFBC performed at the presidential inauguration ceremony for United States President Barack Obama at the U.S. Capitol, along with members of the San Francisco Girls Chorus (a separate organization). They sang for 20 minutes in front of an audience of millions.
Boys from the SFBC have regularly performed in productions of the San Francisco Opera and San Francisco Symphony.
Among others, the group has performed for Colin Powell, Tipper Gore, Pope John Paul II, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Mikhail Gorbachev. In 1997 the group performed at the wedding of Andre Agassi and Brooke Shields in Monterey, California.
