The Brisbane Eisteddfod Junior Choir was comprised of school children individually selected by Alan Moxey, a primary school music teacher in the Queensland Department of Education from the middle of the 20th century. Alan Moxey taught in many schools as a rotating music teacher. The Brisbane Eisteddfod Junior Choir achieved a very high standard of choral singing winning the top trophies in all the prestigious Australian eisteddfods, and performing many concerts both nationally and internationally for approximately thirty years, finally disbanding soon after the death of its founding conductor, Alan Moxey.
