Young Adelaide Voices is a unique South Australian Choir catering for young people aged 5 – 35. This community based, not-for-profit choir school provides a top quality choral education within a friendly and positive environment.
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 a great musical start for young people, and the polish, professionalism and fun of singing in the choir translates to all your child's development.
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.
Since its inception in 1988, Young Adelaide Voices has become an internationally renowned choir, having made six overseas tours to Europe, UK, North America, China, Hong Kong and Japan. They have represented Australia in the 2005 World Festival of Children’s Choirs and most recently at the European Youth Choral Festival in Neerpelt, Belgium where they won First Prize Cum Lauda. They have recorded 9 CDs, with a tenth CD in the making after Aurora's recent tour to Canada in July.
