Locally grown, internationally known
Young Adelaide Voices is a unique South Australian Choir School, catering for young people aged 5 – 35. This community based, not-for-profit organisation provides a top quality choral education within a friendly and positive environment.
Since its inception in 1988, Young Adelaide Voices has become an internationally renowned choir, having made seven overseas tours representing Australia in Canada, Europe, UK, America, China, Hong Kong and Japan. They have recorded 9 CDs, with a tenth CD in the making.
What does YAV do?
Young Adelaide Voices teaches excellence in singing, performing and musicianship with music from all genres and eras and concerts for every choir, young and old!
It’s exciting to hear how young choristers grow in skill and maturity as they progress through the choirs and hear how they develop not only in sound but in confidence and teamwork. These bonds are strong and the music and friendships they make in their years in YAV last a lifetime.
2011/2012 Composer in Residence - Annie Kwok
A large part of YAV's role is to nurture and develop music-making in South Australia and we are delighted to offer our choristers in every choir an opportunity to work with composer in residence Annie Kwok this year. Through collaborative workshops with the separate choirs, Annie has developed a series of compositions for YAV exploring Identity and Self.
Projects in 2011 include:
- Performing at the 3rd Anniversary of the Apology to the Stolen Generation with the Ngarrinjeri Miminar Kaikulun women's choir from Murray Bridge for Reconciliation SA
- "FEVER" concert season in the 2011 Adelaide Fringe Festival
- Contemporary opera performances of "Stari Most" as part of Come Out Youth Arts Festival
- Two combined concerts for all choirs, with a Christmas concert in the Adelaide Town Hall
- "Babies Proms" with the Adelaide Youth Sinfonia
- Credit Union Christmas Pageant
- Carols by Candlelight in Elder Park
