Voice majors from the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge have been selected for three of the four positions open to Alberta university students with the prestigious National Youth Choir.

"Having three of the singers come from our program speaks both to its strength and the talent of the marvelous young musicians who choose to study here," says Dr. Janet Youngdahl, U of L Singers director.

Jason Ragan, Tina Alexander and Aaron Bartholomew are preparing to join the choir as they tour across Canada in May 2010.

"It's an honour to be selected," says Bartholomew. "I expect the experience will be invaluable."

All three singers are also members of the U of L Singers and continue to gain exceptional experience from the educational and performance opportunities from their participation with that group.

This year's National Youth Choir director is Victoria Merideth, esteemed choral director of the award-winning ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Western Ontario Singers.
The National Youth Choir rehearses together for a week before touring various locations throughout the country to perform. Dates and locations are to be announced in January 2010.
