The Alberta Youth Choir is the province's honour choir for singers ages 16-22. AYC 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 2019 Alberta Youth Choir is composed of 78 outstanding choristers from 39 different choirs and 18 towns and cities, including Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge, Red Deer, and Grande Prairie. The choir will be conducted by Dr. Sandra Snow, Professor of Choral Conducting and Music Education at Michigan State University. Choristers participate in a 2-day rehearsal weekend in Edmonton, followed by a residency in Calgary and a tour to two communities in Southern Alberta. AYC will perform in a Gala Concert at the Bella Concert Hall in Calgary on October 25, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. In an effort to prevent an increase in AYC registration fees in spite of steadily rising program costs, Choir Alberta initiated the AYC Adopt-a-Chorister Campaign. 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 two complimentary tickets to AYC's performance at the Music Conference Alberta Gala Concert (October 25, 2019 at the Bella Concert Hall in Calgary). You will also receive recognition in all AYC concert programs and on social media! You will be mailed a tax receipt for your donation. Donations made after October 18, 2019 will not appear in the Music Conference Alberta Gala Concert Program. They may, however, appear in the AYC Tour Concert program. Thank you for your support! |
