   The Escolania, reckoned to be Europe’s oldest music school, has a boys’ choir, the Montserrat Boys’ Choir, which sings in the basilica once a day, Sunday to Friday, except in July and August. See the latest performance times (which can change) on the web page. It is a rare (if brief) treat as the choir does not often perform outside Montserrat. The choir has sung hymns since the 13th century. The 40 to 50 escolanets, aged between 10 and 14, go to boarding school at Montserrat and must endure a two-year selection process to join the choir.
