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 50 outstanding choristers from 27 choirs across the province! The choir will be conducted by award-winning artistic director Robert Filion, conductor of the University of Ottawa Choir and the Chorale du Conservatoire de musique de Gatineau.

Singers participate in a 2-day rehearsal weekend in Calgary followed by a residency in Edmonton where they will perform during the gala concert at Music Conference Alberta at the Winspear Centre and embark on a brief tour of central Alberta.
The Adopt-a-Chorister Campaign is one of the ways we 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 $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!
