 For Children & Youth :: Nova Scotia Youth Choir :: 2012 Season

A project of the Nova Scotia Choral Federation, the Nova Scotia Youth Choir is now in its 22nd year! The objective of the choir is to provide talented singers aged 16 to 25 with a challenging opportunity to work, develop and perform choral music together.

Auditions for the Nova Scotia Youth Choir of 2012 will take place starting in early February!  (see below for details!)  From these auditions, approximately 40 singers will be chosen to work with a team of fine musicians including resident conductors Heather Fraser and Garth MacPhee. Guest conductor, Elroy Friesen, will head up the team making this an exceptional learning opportunity.

Voice quality, presentation and total balance of choral sound are taken into consideration during participant selection. Choristers will work with the two resident conductors during three rehearsal weekends held between June and September. Final rehearsal sessions will be led by the guest conductor and will culminate in performances in Tatamagouche and Halifax on September 29 and 30, 2012.

A limited number of bursaries are now available Nova Scotia Youth Choir Singers through the generous assistance of the Halifax Camerata Singers.  For more information please visit www.halifaxcamerata.org.
