About Us
THE OZY YOUTH CHOIR HONOURING DEFENCE SERVICE
More than a choir, we, The OZY Youth Choir Honouring Defence Service, bring music and history together to inspire and develop young leaders with a focus on commemoration, education and welfare. We bring civilians, veterans and current serving defence families together in regional and rural areas across Australia through the arts. Our unique choir gives everyone a place to belong (regardless of where they are posted) and a place to shine.
Practicing mostly online, we come together to perform for local, national and international eventss. 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 NSW Government House. We have recently come back from a singing Remembrance Tour of the Western Front where we sang in some very special places such as the Arc de Triumph in Paris, the trenches of WWI and at the Last Post Ceremony at Menin Gate.
