The Central Coast
Philharmonia is pleased to announce the formation of a youth choir under the
musical direction of Kyle Williams. This is part of the Philharmonia’s
program to develop musical appreciation and skills for the young people of
the Central Coast, and is open to those between the ages of 16
(approximately Year 10) to university. The choir, although part of the main
choir, will learn and perform choral music more appropriate for younger
people. At CCP concerts it will perform its own pieces and sometimes join
the main choir. It will give its members the opportunity to learn
challenging and engaging works from Australia and around the world, to
experience the joy of singing with a large choir in front of a large
audience. There will also be opportunities to solo.
For further information on
how to join, please contact Kyle Williams:
