Lorin Wey
Lorin Wey
Lorin Wey was born on April 3rd 1990 in Berne, Switzerland, into a family of musicians: his American mother, Peggy Wey- Ervin, and his Swiss father, Markus Wey, were both oboists; and brother Terry who at 4 years old was already determined to become an opera singer. When Terry decided to join the Vienna Boys Choir, Lorin and his mother moved to Vienna to join him, and in due course Terry's voice trainer, Silvia Purchar, started working with Lorin, who joined the choir school himself in 1994.

As a Vienna Choir Boy he sang in concerts in Carinthia and Slovenia, in "Carmen" in the Vienna State Opera, and in masses at the Imperial Chapel. After a tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1999 he transferred to the Musikgymnasium (music high school). In the fall of 2001 the Vienna Boys Choir founded a new external choir, of which Lorin was a member until 2003. Since the fall of 2002 he has sung in the Choral Schola of the Imperial Chapel of Vienna under the direction of Rene Clemencic.

Lorin has had many important professional engagements, including playing Master Cheney in "Thomas Chatterton" by Matthias Pintscher at the Vienna Volksopern (2000), Miles in Britten's "The Turn of the Screw" in the Opera Graz (2002), title role in "The Little Prince" by G. Wirth at the Vienna State Opera (2002) and the first performance by a boy soprano in Handel's "Gloria" at Vaison La Romaine, France. (2003) He has also made concert tours in America and Japan.

When time allows in his busy life, he enjoys football, and the occasional game of golf or tennis.
