In a program entitled “Seeking Light”, 35 talented young singers from across the province will raise their voices together again as the revived Nova Scotia Youth Choir! Their final performance take place Sunday, September 22nd in Wolfville and Halifax.
The NSYC is an ensemble that provides musical training for singers ages 16-25 from across Nova Scotia. It is an opportunity for them to work intensively towards artistic excellence, develop their musicianship, and perform diverse repertoire together with some of the most accomplished and recognized choral instructors and conductors in Canada.
On hiatus since Covid, this is an exciting year of rejuvenation and growth as we welcome a new generation of choristers into this nationally renowned program.
Dr. Jamie Hillman, from the University of Toronto, is the guest conductor this season, supported by a faculty of fine musicians dedicated to excellence in vocal performance and musicianship – Amelia McMahon and Andrew Cranston as resident conductors, Adam Johnson on piano, and Maureen Batt, Ryan Henwood and Dr. Nicole Jordan as guest vocal coaches and clinicians.
In “Seeking Light”, the singers will weave together a diverse program of uplifting music and will feature many Canadian composers like Marie-Claire Saindon, Tracy Wong, Matthew Emery and Andrew Balfour.
