Stepping young people into Leadership through the Arts
We are inviting Junior Legatees, veteran and defence kids to join us for a special performance at the Australian War Memorial on 24 April. This will be A time of Reflection at the Memorial in Canberra for Veteran Families on the eve of Anzac Day to reflect on their own service and remember the sacrifices that have been made. We are looking for young people who love to sing to join us for 45min weekly online practices on Sunday afternoons to learn the repertoire and then come to the Memorial on the day of 24 April for rehearsal to be part of the performance that evening. Practices will be recorded so you can catch up. No previous singing experience necessary.
Sunday Practices Start on 26 Feb at 4:30pm (AEST) except for Easter Sunday
Final Rehearsal starts at 10:30am Monday 24 April 2023 at the Australian War Memorial

About The OZY Youth Choir Honouring Defence Service
We are an international ONLINE Choir!
Due to COVID-19 Lockdown, we are now 100% online but... we are also much more than a choir!
The OZY Youth Choir Honouring Defence Service brings music and history together to inspire and develop young leaders with a focus on commemoration, education and welfare. Bringing civilians, veterans and current serving defence families together online through the arts, we are a national (and now international!) choir giving everyone a place to belong (regardless of where they are posted) and a place to shine.
When we are not in lockdown, we still practice and perform online; however, we also do travel to perform for local, national and international events. We are a seriously fun choir with a community spirit bringing the spirit of the Aussie bush to the stage. While we take commemoration seriously, we are a little bit quirky or larrikin" and like to have fun just like the Singin Soldiers of WWI (as CJ Dennis put it)!
On a more serious note, we have sung at many important events such as the opening of Invictus Games Sydney and at Government House. In 2018, we did a singing Remembrance Tour of the Western Front where our young people sang at the Arc de Triumph in Paris, in the trenches of WWI and at the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate.
