Calgary Girls Choir

Get on the Map

The Calgary Girls Choir has been providing exceptional choral training along with performance and touring opportunities since 1995. We are an award-winning and internationally renowned choir that inspires and empowers young women through music.

Our Philosophy
“Only the best is good enough” has been a constant guiding principle of the Calgary Girls Choir. Choristers are encouraged to strive for excellence—a choral work ethic, that lends itself well to polishing pieces for performance, in-tune singing, vocal technique, leadership and teamwork.

Our Vision
The CGC strives to increase the skill and knowledge of its young women while instilling in them a passion for music. The Choir itself reflects the diversity of its music—world-class and constantly evaluated.

Our Mission
Giving Young Women a Voice!

  • Music

  • In-School Performances

    We are a performing choir that is passionate about sharing our music with others. At multiple times a year, we take our music on the road and perform at schools in Calgary. For the school community it offers an experience that is inspiring, moving and perhaps surprising! For our choristers, it's a rare opportunity to perform for their peers and a day filled with team bonding and fun! Are you interested in having our choir visit your school? Please contact us to be included in our next tour: artisticcoordinator@calgarygirlschoir.com

  • Group Classes

    The choir has 3 ensembles: Choristers in Dolce (Kindergarten-Grade 4) enjoy a program that is very active and fun! In this Kodály-based program, choristers develop musicianship through traditional children’s folk songs, art songs, nursery rhymes, dance, and games. Viva (lively) choristers, Grades 4-7, enjoy a program designed to advance their musical skills and build a wide and varied range of repertoire. They meet once a week to focus on the development of vocal technique and musicianship through artistic interpretation and performance. The Brava program (Grade 7 - University) includes a fall weekend camp where they bond and develop friendships while rehearsing and socializing, a winter workshop day to kick off the post-festive season, a spring recording, multiple performances throughout the year, and touring opportunities, both nationally and internationally.
