Aurora Youth Choir
Established as a branch of the Leone Philharmonic Society, the Aurora Youth Choir is the junior chorus of the Aurora Opera House. It currently comprises a group of twenty young female singers who come together to enjoy the art of singing and theatre.
Under the musical direction of Matthew Sultana, the junior chorus offers the young singers the opportunity to learn music, nurture love for the theatre and participate in a wide variety of events. At a tender age, children are exposed and given the opportunity to participate in large-scale operas as part of a bigger troupe. But equally important to the choir’s mission are several smaller projects and mini-concerts in which the young singers are tasked not only with singing but with the overall responsibility of production, giving them unique hands-on opportunities in various theatre departments.
Apart from its own mini-concerts, the Aurora Youth Choir is therefore a regular at concerts produced by the Leone Band and other events of civic and cultural nature organised in several towns across Gozo. Being part of the Leone Philharmonic Society, the choir enjoys an intrinsic affinity with the Gozo Cathedral Church where it regularly performs not only in pastoral activities for children but also more mainstream liturgical functions.
