CGC Chorister Fund
Making quality choral singing financially accessible for all is a Calgary Girls Choir commitment. Your contributions to this fund assists choristers with costs for registration, camp, and tours.
CGC Choral Enrichment Fund
Through our Sopranos Concert, Workshops/Camp and partnerships with Guest Musicians, CGC choristers have an opportunity to build skills, enhance their singing, develop confidence, expand their musical exposure, and inspire their dreams. Working with clinicians, soloist and guest artists deepens their desire to work hard and aspire to excellence. The CGC supports the arts community by bringing in these musicians, and in turn increases the musician’s exposure while benefiting our choristers.
CGC Creative Fund
Allows the Choir to meet needs as they arise, such as: commissioning works from talented Canadian composers, recordings and professional development of artistic staff.
CGC Choir Tour Fund
Touring both nationally and internationally offers our singers an experience like no other. Global awareness, exciting performance opportunities, exposure to other choirs and the development of important life skills are among the benefits. You can specify whether you want your contribution to go toward lowering the cost of touring for the group or to help cover the costs of a chorister who otherwise could not otherwise afford to tour.
