Qatar Youth Choir in performance with conductor Alena Pyne
On April 4, as a special concession for visiting delegates from the International Federation of Choral Music, a short choir performance was permitted for the first time at the beautiful Museum of Islamic Art on the Corniche. This honour was bestowed on Qatar Youth Choir who chose to showcase a short repertoire of Arabic songs for the visitors.
This week Qatar Youth Choir travels to Vienna, Austria, to the oldest choral institution in the world - the famous Vienna Boys Choir. There they will undertake master classes for a week and perform in concert together with the Vienna Boys Choir.
Qatar Youth Choir will perform their next concert in Doha towards the end of April, sharing the stage with the younger Qatar Junior Choir at the Swiss International School of Qatar. Please see www.qyj-choir.com for more details.
Later this year in July, Qatar Youth Choir has been invited to perform in Lisbon at the World Choral Expo as one of eight youth choirs selected from across the globe. While this is an honour that few talented choirs have the privilege of, Qatar Youth Choir will need support from patrons across Doha’s business community. Individuals or companies interested in encouraging the choir along this exciting path, or are interested in exploring collaborative opportunities with Qatar Youth Choir, should email [email protected].
