Annual Fund Drive

Our SGC community is well on its way to making our Annual Fund goal. It is our goal this year that 100% of our chorister families contribute something to this important fund raiser. Thank you to those who have already contributed, but we can't make this goal without everyone!

Seattle Girls' Choir supporters aren't limited to current chorister families. Friends, patrons and SGC alumnae may also contribute at the Giving Page of our website. Learn more about this year's Annual Fund Drive and click the Donate Button to give today!

Your support is appreciated, thank you!

SGC and Northwest Girlchoir March Concert

On Sunday, March 15th, Seattle's two great choirs for young women, Northwest Girlchoir and Seattle Girls' Choir, collaborate in this celebratory concert. Middle and high school choristers from both organizations will perform in their individual ensembles and will join to sing Ola Gjeilo's Gloria, John Muehleisen's Glory! A History Lesson, Kirk Mechem's Sing All Ye Joyful, and Alice Parker's Invocation: Peace.

We hope you will attend this wonderful concert with your whole family. Not only will you support Cantamus, Prime Voci and the choirs of NWGC, but your family will enjoy great choral music together. A Seattle choral event not to be missed!

Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets.
