Boy Trebles Bring Tolkien’s World to the Stage with Live Film Accompaniment
PBA joined San Francisco Symphony to perform the first chapter of Howard Shore’s iconic trilogy, The Fellowship of the Ring, April 11, 12 & 13, 2024.
Boys’ Ethereal Voices Carry the Spirit of Middle-earth
Singing in ancient Elvish, our boys voices floated above the orchestra — haunting, noble and alive with mystery.

Soloist Brenn Farrell Casts a Soprano Spell
From the orchestra floor, Brenn Farrell – high school sophomore and Day School graduate – enchanted audiences with the “In Dreams” solo that plays during the film’s closing credits.
Guided by a Master of the Score: Ludwig Wicki
Guided by Maestro Wicki’s expertise with the score, our boys’ voices supported the richness of the orchestral performance.
Thank You, SF Symphony
Watch our boys express heartfelt thanks to the San Francisco Symphony! We’re grateful PBA’s choristers’ young voices could rise through Middle-earth!
