For over two decades, NYCA has operated as a nationally auditioned SATB chamber choir for singers aged 18-26. We bring together Australia’s most outstanding young adult singers from all states and territories to meet annually for an intensive workshop week, including masterclasses, world class conductors, voice lessons and coaching, all culminating in a series of public concerts. It has focused on presenting a broad repertoire with a strong commitment to Australian choral music.
