The Alberta Youth Choir (AYC) is the provincial honour choir for singers ages 16-22. It provides a unique opportunity for outstanding young singers from across the province to join forces in the pursuit of excellence in choral music under the direction of a renowned conductor.
The 2023 Alberta Youth Choir is composed of 36 outstanding choristers from 18 choirs across the province! The choir will be conducted by Dr. Rachel Rensink-Hoff, Associate Professor of Music at the Brock University Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine & Performing Arts, Conductor of the Brock University Choir and Sora Singers, and Artistic Director of the Avanti Chamber Singers. Singers participate in a 2-day rehearsal weekend followed by a residency in Edmonton and a run-out concert in Camrose. AYC will perform as part of a Choir Alberta 50th Anniversary Event at All Saints' Anglican Cathedral in Edmonton on Saturday, 4 March 2023 at 7:30 p.m. |
The Adopt-a-Chorister Campaign is one of the ways are able to present AYC without increasing registration fees. Every adoption makes it possible for a talented young chorister from across the province to take part in this unique and valuable musical experience.
The cost to adopt an AYC Chorister is $100.00. As a thank you for your support, contributors to the campaign will receive complimentary tickets to AYC's Edmonton performance on March 4. Donations made by Feb 28 will receive recognition in the AYC concert program and all donors will appear on the Choir Alberta website. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations. Thank you for your support! |
