Girl Choirs
Virtual Green Bay Girl ChoirGBGC-Blessing.mp3The Girl Choir tradition began on May 11, 1996 when 180 girls became charter members. The choir has grown to include girls in four levels of vocal experience and ability. All choirs are both training and performing units. The music program is based on progressive vocal music instruction and performance readiness. Choir members must be at least seven years old. Admission to the touring choir is by placement auditions. Auditions are held in the spring or by appointment. School music teacher recommendations are welcomed for ages 7-18. Classical music literature forms the foundation for choir instruction. Repertoire includes contemporary, folk, ethnic, sacred, and secular music.
Changes were made during our 2021-22 season. See the Events tab for a list of our current choirs.
