Under the direction of founder and artistic director Lyn Williams the Sydney Children's Choir has built a worldwide reputation for choral excellence. The Sydney Children's Choir has commissioned over 60 works from leading Australian composers over its 20 year history and performs a significant number of Australian compositions each year. In this way, the Choir seeks to introduce worldwide audiences to a distinctive Australian choral sound and to increase audience appreciation of children's choirs as a compelling medium for making music.
