Adelaide Fringe – Disney Singalong!

At Young Adelaide Voices, we love encouraging young people to sing. Hosted by our senior choristers who all have a favourite Disney song, we’ll lead your family through a singing and musical adventure!

Young Adelaide Voices (YAV) is an award-winning South Australian choir school under the Artistic Directorship of Christie Anderson. YAV has six choirs for young people aged five years and above.

Buy a VIP ticket and come 30 minutes early to craft before the singing starts! You can make something magical to show as part of your experience, and get a snack too.

With dancing, singing and fun, YAV’s Singalong Disney offers a safe and inclusive environment for all kids. This event is run by young people, for young people.

We can’t wait to see you there.

Finders Keepers

Intermediate Choir and Aurora are excited to be a part of Finders Keepers with the ASO in June.

The much-loved children’s book The Lost Thing, by Australian illustrator and author Shaun Tan, has been turned into an award- winning film and now becomes a magical concert experience thanks to music by ASO Creative Partner Paul Rissmann. This is a spellbinding tale of a boy who discovers a strange creature on the beach, and tries to find a place where it belongs. Join Paul and the ASO on this journey of discovery.

The A Capella Academy at Ukaria

The rich tradition of a cappella singing is exemplified by groups such as The Gesualdo Six and VOCES8. In this precise work of matching and blending vocal colour, a deep understanding of the techniques involved is crucial, and there are few in the world better placed to coach this than Timothy Wayne-Wright.

Now based in New Zealand, Timothy was a member of the Grammy-winning ensemble The King’s Singers for ten years. He has toured the world, sung over 1,500 concerts, and taught hundreds of masterclasses and workshops, imparting chamber music skills to choirs and instrumentalists across the globe.

Over four days at UKARIA, a group of Adelaide’s most committed and skilled ensemble singers will come together for a new initiative in UKARIA’s masterclass series. Our inaugural A Cappella Academy will culminate in a special finale featuring performances from the Adelaide Chamber Singers and Aurora Vocal Ensemble directed by Christie Anderson, ACS– a new professional training choir attached to the Adelaide Chamber Singers – directed by Carl Crossin, and the Festival Statesmen Chorus directed by Jonathan Bligh, in a program ranging from early Renaissance polyphony to contemporary a cappella repertoire.
