Trish began with Young Adelaide Voices in 1999 and thinks it is the best place for students and tutors alike to learn new skills and build on their talents. She believes YAV is world-class and offers the best in choral training and musicianship skills. The sense of community, mentors and friends keep her coming back each year!
