The National Youth Choir of Australia

Gino Anthony SanidadGino Anthony Sanidad

Born in 1986, Gino started singing as a boy soprano at St Stephen's Cathedral in early March 1995, under conductor Michael Lynch. He has continued to sing there, although he now sings bass and tenor under the direction of Dr Ralph Morton, and has sung in many different choirs including some directed by Anthony Young. Gino is also in the University of Queensland Chorale. He plays both violin and piano.

Some people know Gino as "Anthony", but he prefers "Gino", which he considers a nickname as well as his real name. Gino began studying for a Bachelor of Multimedia Design at the University of Queensland in 2004. His first season with NYCA was in April 2003, and of all the choirs he has sung in, he enjoys NYCA the most.
