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. The guest conductor for AYC 2019 is Dr. Sandra Snow, Professor of Choral Conducting and Music Education at Michigan State University.

2. AUDITION
Once the Recommendation Form has been received, an Audition Packet will be sent by email to each recommended chorister. The Audition Packet contains detailed audition instructions; conductors/teachers may help their choristers in preparing for their audition. The audition is made up of 4 parts: two basic 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. Choristers will submit all audition materials online - nothing is mailed in.
The deadline for recommended choristers to upload their audition materials is 15 May 2019.
The final roster will be announced in June. The registration fee is $295 payable after official acceptance into the choir. A limited number of bursaries are available.
