Touring
Young Adelaide Voices tours within Australia as well as overseas, giving the Choir an opportunity to share its high choral standard and love of singing with other choristers and a wider audience. At the same time, YAV is proud to represent their City, State and Country. These tours, along with reciprocal hosting arrangements, provide enriching and rewarding musical and cultural exchanges.
In 2012 YAV is touring the USA, where they are representing Australia in the 2012 World Choir Games in Cincinnati and the 9th International Golden Gate Youth Choir Festival in San Francisco. They also have the fantastic opportunity of singing at the Serenade Festival in Washington DC and performing with youth choirs in New York.
