Each year, over 350 singers from 45 Bay Area cities ranging in age from 4 – 18 participate in the SFGC’s programs. The organization consists of a five-time GRAMMY Award-winning professional-level performance, recording, and touring ensemble and a six-level Chorus School training program. The San Francisco Girls Chorus School offers a program of unparalleled artistic and educational excellence, designed to take young girls from their first introduction to the art of choral singing through a full course of choral, vocal, and theoretical instruction. The Chorus School is made up of six levels: non-auditioned Prep Chorus, Training Chorus, and Levels I-IV, which choristers move through as they develop musically. Choristers spend one, two or three years in each level. The carefully structured training stages are designed specifically to increase technical skills, stamina and discipline in accordance with each chorister’s age and physical development.
