National Youth Choir of Canada

The National Youth Choir of Canada (NYCC) is a project of Choral Canada and is one of Canada’s finest youth choirs. It is a one-of-a-kind professional development opportunity for some of Canada’s best emerging choral singers. Truly national in scope, the prestigious choir is made up of singers between the ages of 19 and 26 who are auditioned from across the country every two years.

Initiated in 1984, the NYCC has won critical acclaim across Canada since its inception. The ensemble has performed at every Podium conference since 1984, has sung at the opening ceremonies of Expo 1986, was featured at the World Symposium on Choral Music in Vancouver in 1993 and Festival 500 in Newfoundland 1999. In 2017, the NYCC partnered with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada for the first time, performing in the Edges of Canada tour, one of the Canada 150 signature projects celebrating our nation’s sesquicentennial. The NYCC has had extensive radio airtime on CBC Radio and Radio Canada.
