YEA Award
Choir Cecilia – Youth Encouragement Award.
Choir Cecilia is a community choir based in Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills. Singers come from all over the Adelaide Hills and beyond and are bound together by their love of music and singing. Choir Cecilia sings a varied repertoire leaning towards traditional and classical works but also perform contemporary, folk, and spiritual music from many cultures and centuries.
The Musical Director is Jeremy Tatchell, and the Accompanist is Ruth Murcutt.
In the true spirit of “community”, the Choir Cecilia Youth Encouragement Award was instigated in 2013, to help fulfil one of the objectives of the Constitution: “to foster young talent”.
The award is presented annually to a young Adelaide Hills person who demonstrates outstanding musical talent, in the hope that it will encourage them to pursue their love of music and to continue to develop their musical talent. The award consists of a certificate, a sum of money determined annually, and the recipient’s name engraved on the Youth Encouragement Award Plaque which is located in the Mount Barker Community Library.
The criteria for selection will be that the applicant is a secondary school student who resides in the areas of either the Mount Barker District Council or the Adelaide Hills District Council, and that they play an orchestral instrument.
