History
The Richmond Boys Choir was founded in 1996 in Richmond, Virginia. RBC was originally a collaboration between Theatre IV and the Boys & Girls Club of Richmond. In the fall of 1996 the RBC conducted its first citywide auditions. As a result approximately 25 boys were chosen for membership. By 1997 RBC successfully converted into an independent, non-profit 501(c)3. Before long the choir was recognized by the mayor as "Richmond's Ambassadors' of Song".
