The clear voices of one of Europe's oldest boys' choirs have echoed through the basilica since the 14th century. The choir performs briefly on most days (except school holidays), singing Virolai, written by Catalonia’s national poet Jacint Verdaguer, and Salve Regina, as well as at at Sunday mass (at 11am). The 50 escolanets, aged between nine and 14, go to boarding school in Montserrat and must endure a two-year selection process to join the choir.
