Comment by a viewer: They don’t look like any Nuns that I remember! A friend sent this to me and I am not sure what I enjoyed most — the music, the audience, or the revelation at the end that this was a NUNS’ choir!!! I stopped and started it at the end to make sure I heard it correctly! Yes there is traditional for older folks, modern for the younger ones (and those young-at-heart), and those who love both types of music.
REMEMBER THESE ARE NUNS!

This was beautifully sung by this Nun’s Choir which I understand is mostly made up of Nuns.
It’s funny that people actually believe that they are actually nuns……;)
The Nun’s Chorus is an extract from the operetta ‘Casanova’ by Johann Strauss.
I believe Andre Rieu is referring to his choir as the Nun’s Choir…..tongue-n-cheek, since his orchestra is named the Johann Strauss Orchestra. I believe some of the ladies are from the Harlem Gospel Choir along with other fabulous voices from around the EU.
Andre Rieu also refers to the choir as the Radio City Music Sister’s when he was in NYC
The Nuns were very good. The soloist left a little to be desired in the pitch range. But the heartfelt performance was appreciated.
This video is so fantastic, I watch it 2-3 times a week.
I’ve loved this rendition of I Will Follow Him, every since I heard it. I keep it in my computer and play it ALL the time. I’d love to have the words exactly as they are sung, but not fast enough to type them off, even tho I stop and start! ha Guess if I listen enough, eventually I’ll get them down. I play Piano so try to play along with them. I’d love to have my Church rock out to this!!!

Kindly help me.How to download this video? Please advise me ( Andre Rieu: I will follow him)
They did the best job of I will follow Him bar none of any I’ve heard yet!!
You can get this video off You Tube. I’ve watched it dozens of times, as I’m learning how to play it on the Piano! It’s really a killer with 3 key changes in it, but all done so tastefully! I Love it!!! Good luck in getting it downloaded.

I’m not sure that ANY of these folks are nuns! I believe that is Rieu’s joking reference to the performance of the song in the movie “Sister Act”. Besides the Harlem Gospel Choir and Soweto choir, the lead (blonde) singer is stunning (great voice too!) and holds her own with the other blonde to her right: Mirusia, one of the great sopranos. Just an electric performance.
Were are the nuns chorus come from?
So inspiring, beautiful enjoy it!❤️💛💙💚💜👍😍
Who is the center lead singer
List the three lead singers
Who is that lead blond singer .
Who are the three lady singers?
I would follow her if I knew other events she sang at
She was great for this performance. Wish we saw more of her on camera.
I think they could be nuns. Nuns are different today v. when I was in school. They are considered a Bride of Christ and as such wear a Wedding Dress when they take their final vows and commit to Christ. Much like a Bride committing to her new Husband,
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

It takes more than singing to be a nun. For those nuns of the Catholic Church, some of who are saints, did not sing their way to sainthood.
Anyone know the name of the stunning girl in the yellow dress at the end of the row to the right of Andre??
They have really beautiful voices with amazing passion! They obviously adopted this version of the popular 60’s song recorded, I believe, by the Supremes, from the movie, Sister Act, with my favorite actress, Whoopi Goldberg. I really love this version of the song, I Will Follow You!😍🎶. Since I am Catholic, I really appreciate the lyrics as sung in the movie.
