The Alberta Youth Choir is the province’s honour choir for singers ages 16-22, and provides a unique opportunity for excellent young choristers to join forces in the pursuit of choral music excellence.

ALL CHORISTERS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 AND 22 ARE INVITED TO APPLY FOR AN AYC AUDITION!

Acceptance into AYC is by a two stage audition process:

1. Choristers can apply for an AYC audition by submitting this form no later than 7 May 2018.  Once the Application for Audition has been received, an Audition Packet will be sent to the email provided below.  The Audition Packet contains detailed audition instructions.
   
   The audition is made up of 4 parts: two simple vocal exercises, a prepared piece (which can be the chorister’s part in one of the pieces your choir is currently singing), a new piece (it is short, and we provide PDF scores), and a brief questionnaire.
   
   
2. Choristers submit their audition materials online.  All materials are uploaded – nothing is mailed in.  The deadline to upload audition materials is 30 May 2018.

The AYC Roster will be announced in June. The registration fee is $295 payable after official acceptance into the choir. Bursaries are available.

AYC 2018's guest conductor is Dr. Cristian Grases, Associate Professor of Choral Music at USC Thornton.
