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 2024 Alberta Youth Choir is composed of 52 outstanding choristers from 21 choirs across the province! The choir will be conducted by award-winning artistic director Jamie Hillman, conductor of the U of T MacMillan Singers and Director of Choral Studies at the University of Toronto. Singers participate in a 2-day rehearsal weekend in Calgary followed by a residency in Edmonton where they will perform during the Showcase concert in conjunction with Music Conference Alberta at the Polish Hall. |
The Adopt-a-Chorister Campaign is one of the ways we are able to keep AYC registration fees low. Every adoption helps make it possible for talented young choristers from across the province to take part in this unique and valuable musical experience.
The cost to adopt an AYC Chorister is $125.00. As a thank you for your support, contributors to the campaign will receive complimentary tickets to AYC's Edmonton performance in October. Donations made by Oct 16 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! |
