Ms. Quilichini directs the Calgary Girls Choir senior program. The senior choirs include Viva (Grades 4-6) and Brava (Grades 7 and up). The choir welcomes choristers up to 24 years of age.  Each of these choirs has gained an international reputation for excellence through their performances, recordings and tours. The choirs have won major prizes at the Vienna Music Festival, the Llangollen international Musical Eisteddfod and in local, provincial and national competitions within Canada. On their most recent concert tour they were honored to sing mass at St Mark’s Basilica and the Vatican. Local performance highlights include appearances as members of the Inter-Faith Youth Choir that welcomed the Daliai Lama to Calgary, performances at the Olympic Torch Celebration and the showcase concerts for Choralfest in 2009 and 2010.  The Brava choir will tour in Germany in the 2013 summer.

Viva choristers, grades four to six, enjoy a program designed to advance their musical skills and build new repertoire. They meet once a week and focus on the development of vocal technique and musicianship through artistic interpretation and performance. Viva continues to serve as a model for all as to the high standard that can be achieved by young singers.
