Voices of Celebration

 

The Sydney Children’s Choir turns 21 in 2010! And we’re celebrating with a huge concert at the Sydney Opera House on Sunday 4 July at 4pm.

 

The Sydney Children’s Choir is an iconic presence on the musical landscape of Sydney. Over 500 choristers will combine – including the internationally renowned Gondwana national choirs and the Gondwana National Indigenous Children’s Choir – to sing together in celebration.

 

The specially selected program showcases a unique repertoire of Australian choral music for children, and is directed by Artistic Director and Founder Lyn Williams oam. A 250-strong alumni choir will also form for this special event. These young people’s passion for singing – ignited in childhood and nourished by their involvement with Sydney Children’s Choir and Gondwana Choirs – has never dimmed.
