The New Zealand Youth Choir is a mixed choir consisting of around 50 singers, auditioned nationally every 2-3 years from around New Zealand. The choir accepts members aged between 18 and 24 at the time of audition, and places may be offered for one, two or three years. The choir was formed in 1979〔http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/creative-life/7/10〕 by Guy Jansen and has subsequently been conducted by Professor Peter Godfrey (1980 to 1988), Dr Karen Grylls (1989 to 2010) and David Squire (since 2011). As at February 2015, Dr Grylls is an associate professor and head of choral studies at the University of Auckland. The choir is governed by the Choirs Aotearoa New Zealand Trust (which also governs Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir and the NZYC Alumni Choir). The Chief Executive of the Trust is Roger Lloyd, who has held this position since late 2010. == International Tours and Awards == The choir has achieved considerable success both within New Zealand and internationally, including winning the ‘Let the Peoples Sing’ competition in 1992, the ‘Choir of the World’ title at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in 1999, and the ‘Grand Prix Slovakia’ in the same year.〔http://www.choirsnz.co.nz/youth/about〕 In 2010 the choir toured to Singapore, Seoul, Shanghai (where it performed as part of Expo 2010), Brisbane, Canberra, and Sydney.
