You are invited to apply for an audition for AYC 2017!
AYC is the province’s honour choir for singers ages 16-22, and provides a unique opportunity for excellent young choristers from across Alberta to join forces in the pursuit of choral music excellence.
Acceptance into AYC is by a two stage audition process:
1. Choristers can apply for an AYC audition by submitting this form no later than 15 April 2017. Once the application for audition has been received, an Audition Packet will be sent to the email provided below. The Audition Packet contains detailed audition instructions.
The audition is made up of 4 parts: two simple vocal exercises, a prepared piece (which can be the chorister’s part in one of the pieces your choir is currently singing), a new piece (it is short, and we provide PDF scores), and a brief questionnaire.
2. Choristers submit their audition materials online. All materials are uploaded – nothing is mailed in. The deadline to upload audition materials is 15 May 2017.
The AYC Roster will be announced in early June.
The guest conductor for AYC 2017 is Dr. Elroy Friesen, Director of Choral Studies at the University of Manitoba.
The fee is $295, payable after official acceptance into the choir. Bursaries are available.
