Audi Jugendchorakademie

The Audi Youth Choir Academy is a select ensemble of 70 enthusiastic young singers under the artistic direction of Prof Martin Steidler. During joint rehearsals and intensive individual lessons, the teenagers and young adults learn to make music together and receive individualised vocal training. In rehearsal phases lasting several days, the 16 to 27-year-olds are prepared for the respective concerts under professional guidance. Once a year, auditions are held at various locations in Germany, where those interested can qualify to join the choir. The members of the choir currently come from all over Germany and Austria.

The ensemble was founded in 2007 by AUDI AG. Since the beginning of 2017, the non-profit organisation Jugendchorakademie e.V. has been the sponsor of the Audi Youth Choir Academy.
Co-operations

The vocal ensemble collaborates with top artists and orchestras such as Kent Nagano, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. The choir is also a regular guest at renowned music festivals and in major concert halls worldwide. In January 2017, the Audi Youth Choir Academy performed at the newly opened Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. International concert tours have already taken the young musicians to Taiwan, Singapore and the Vatican.
