The organization, which has been nationally recognized on numerous occasions, is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, in the United States.

HistoryThe Richmond Boys Choir was founded in 1996 in Richmond, Virginia, as a collaboration between Theatre IV and the Boys & Girls Club of Richmond. In the fall of 1996 the RBC conducted its first citywide auditions. As a result approximately 25 boys were chosen for membership. By 1997 RBC became an independent, non-profit 501(c)3. Before long the choir was recognized by the mayor as "Richmond's Ambassadors' of Song".
