National Youth Choir Tours SaskatchewanA project of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities (ACCC), the National Youth Choir of Canada encourages national understanding, excellence and cooperation through singing. Every second year, up to four young people from each province and territory are accepted to this prestigious ensemble. Together the form a choir of professional calibre and vivacious enthusiasm that tours various regions of our nation. Ranging in age from 18 to 25 years, these singers represent the kind of dedication, talent and passion that inspires. Many have gone on to be internationally known soloists, conductors and arts adminstrators. Others are now recognized academics, business people and community leaders. This year the NYC will be under the direction of Dr. Victoria Meredith, Chair of the Dept. Of Music Education at the University of Western Ontario.
