The Sydney Children’s Choir turns 21 in 2010! The Sydney Children’s Choir is an iconic presence on the musical landscape of Sydney. Over 500 choristers will combine – including the internationally renowned Gondwana national choirs and the Gondwana National Indigenous Children’s Choir – to sing together in celebration. The specially selected program showcases a repertoire of Australian choral music for children, and is directed by Artistic Director and Founder Lyn Williams OAM. A 100-strong alumni choir will also form for this special event. These young people’s passion for singing – ignited in childhood and nourished by their involvement with Sydney Children’s Choir and Gondwana Choirs – has never dimmed.

Performers include: Sydney Children’s Choir, Gondwana Chorale, Gondwana Voices, Gondwana Singers, Junior Gondwana, Gondwana National Indigenous Children’s Choir, Bukhchuluun Ganburged (Mongolian throat singer) & William Barton (didgeridoo) in the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall

Celebrating the 21st Birthday at the Sydney Opera House with  ‘Voices of Celebration’ - a magical and critically acclaimed concert, which brought together Gondwana National Choirs, the Sydney Children’s Choir, GNICC and Alumni for the very first time.
