Michaela Young

About Me

Michaela is a classical soprano, living and studying in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. Her experience in choirs such as the Australian Rosny Children's choir, Legato Youth Choir, 4/5ths of a wheel and the ARIA nominated Southern Gospel Choir has allowed her to perform around Australia and Tasmania from a very young age. Michaela regularly performs around Hobart in musicals, such as the world premieres of For the Term of His Natural Life and Dream Masons as part of the 10 days on the island festival. Michaela has also appeared as the Plaintiff in Trial By Jury with the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, see the photos below. Michaela also regularly competes around Hobart in Eisteddfods. Michaela is currently studying with Jane Edwards, and has also previously studied with Helen Todd and Sharon Prero.
As Michaela has not recorded any vocal tracks as yet, please enjoy this piano recording of the Stuart Greenbaum piece, Affinity.
I am currently working on:
Pieces for AmusA:
Mozart - Laudate Dominum
Pergolesi - Vidit Suum from Stabat Mater
Bizet - Me voile suele... Comme autre fois from the Pearl Fishers
Wolf - Elfenleid and Auch Kleine Dinge

Head - The Ships of Arcady and A Blackbird Singing
And I am also currently rehearsing for the 2008 season of Les Miserables at the Theatre Royal
Vocals for a dance music track with Discotouch (aka George Begbie)

Influences: Michaela would like to thank teachers Helen Todd and Sharon Prero for their wonderful advice and influence.

Pamela Andrews has also been great to work with.
