The Alberta Youth Choir (AYC) is the provincial honour choir for singers ages 16-22. It provides a unique opportunity for outstanding young singers from across the province to join forces in the pursuit of excellence in choral music under the direction of a renowned conductor.
The 2026 Alberta Youth Choir is composed of 46 outstanding choristers from 21 choirs across the province! The 2026 roster is exceptionally strong, and this year’s AYC promises to be another exciting and rewarding musical experience. We are thrilled to announce this year’s inspiring conductor, Jean-Sébastien Vallée—a Canadian-American conductor, scholar, and pedagogue celebrated for his exceptional artistry in choral, vocal, and orchestral music.
Singers participate in a two-day rehearsal weekend in Calgary, followed by a residency in Edmonton, where they will perform at the 2026 Raising Voices Concert at the Winspear Theatre—bringing together the Alberta Children’s Choir, the Alberta Youth Choir, and guest ensembles for a uniquely exciting afternoon of music-making.
The Adopt-a-Chorister Campaign is one of the ways we are able to keep AYC registration fees low. Every adoption helps make it possible for talented young choristers from across the province to take part in this unique and valuable musical experience.
The cost to adopt an AYC Chorister is $125.00. Please include the name of the chorister you are adopting in the message box.
As a thank you for your support, contributors to the campaign will receive complimentary tickets to AYC's Edmonton performance in February 22 Donations made by Feb 16 will receive recognition in the AYC concert program and all donors will appear on the Choir Alberta website. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.
