Calgary Girls Choir Society

Calgary Girls Choir Society, a registered charitable organization headed by a board drawn from the community at large, supports the Calgary Girls Choir. Although the Choir maintains a modestly financed administrative infrastructure, its operations are largely conducted by enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers.

Vision

The Calgary Girls Choir is dedicated to choral music and its choristers. The choir strives to increase the skill and knowledge of its young women while instilling in them a passion for music. The experience will be remembered as challenging, diverse and fun. The choir will reflect diversity in its music, music that will be world-class and constantly evaluated – “only the best is good enough”. The choir’s effectiveness is measured by its recordings, size and diversity of its audiences, financial health, invitations for travel, and growth.

Mission

The Calgary Girls Choir is committed to presenting a unique musical gift to the artistic life of audiences everywhere. The Choir strives to be a role model for others, and to inspire all young singers to meet the creative challenge of choral music performance.


Dedicated to assisting girls through their development into young women, the Calgary Girls Choir, through its commitment to the highest standards of choral music achievement, produces young women who are confident leaders. Their skills reach far beyond musical expertise - their expression of self-confidence, sense of self-worth and scholastic achievement are demonstrable outgrowths of their choir experience.
