“I remember my first rehearsal so vividly, sitting in the front row, intimidated by the group of girls surrounding me. But as soon as we hit the downbeat of the first piece, my fear was replaced by an inexplicable sensation, hearing the chords and harmonies of 50 young voices coming together. Years later when I came across Eric Whitacre’s Ted Talk, I found the exact words to describe that feeling, ‘In my entire life I had seen in black and white and suddenly everything was in shocking Technicolor.‘”
- Brava Chorister, Serah George
“No matter how I feel when I come to choir rehearsal, singing always brings me so much joy. I love how kind and welcoming the other girls are, the beautiful music we get to sing and how important we are to Mrs.Q.”
- Viva Chorister, Age 10
“I love how choir fosters a wonderful sense of community and friendship. We learn much more than just singing at choir! I’m so incredibly grateful!”
- Brava Chorister
“Singing for me is happiness.”
- Age 7, Dolce Chorister
“I feel the Calgary Girls Choir has helped me grow as a person, both with more self-confidence and with finding my voice! The atmosphere you have established is amazing and I will miss this very much….I will always admire the spirit and passion you have while singing/teaching us.”
- Former Chorister, Jasmine Siqueira
