This boys’ choir, to which Anton Bruckner once belonged, has been in existence since 1071. For centuries, its core tasks have included the organisation of church music in St. Florian. Now. it gives concerts all over the world. The St. Florianer’s singers have already performed at many important music festivals including the Salzburg Festival, the Wiener Festival Week and the Festival d'Aix en Provence. This choir also regularly appears with renowned conductors and orchestras such as the Wiener Philharmoniker and the Cleveland Orchestra. Conductor Franz Welser-Möst, Principal Conductor of the Cleveland Orchestra, is Honorary President of the Association of Friends of the St. Florianer Sängerknaben.

The Sängerknaben perform either purely as a choir of upper voices or together with their male voice choir which was founded by Artistic Director Franz Farnberger in 1989 in order to expand the repertoire of the boys’ choir. The soloists of the St. Florian Sängerknaben often sing the roles intended for boys in opera productions. The choir also has a rich discography that includes traditional Austrian music, folk and Christmas songs as well as recordings of early music. Since autumn 2018, the former St. Florian choirboy Markus Stumpner has been the choirmaster.
