Princeton Girlchoir is now accepting audition appointments for the 2016-2017 season. Any girl who will be entering grades 3-12 next fall is welcomed.
The 2016-2017 season has concerts planned throughout the East Coast. The Performing Division choirs will also embark on a summer concert tour, with the location soon to be announced. Recent tours have taken the choirs to Hawaii, Colorado, Austria, the Czech Republic, and Trinidad in addition to this year’s trip to Ireland.
In addition to these performance opportunities, PGC offers a music education to the choristers who participate in all six of their ensembles. Girls who have trained with PGC are regularly accepted into prestigious university music programs across the country.
A strong desire to learn, a musical ear and an eagerness to share music with others are key to a successful audition. Despite the many musical opportunities PGC offers during the year, the auditions remain low-key and enjoyable and no advance preparation is required. This year, girls will be asked to sing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” along with some exercises that demonstrate their vocal range, and to complete a few musical challenges to help our music directors understand their current level of musical ability.
Auditions for new choristers are scheduled for June 4 and 11 at Princeton Day School, however, PGC will work with families who are unable to attend auditions on that date to find an alternative. Interested choristers may also wish to attend Princeton Girlchoir’s Spring Concert Series on Friday, May 6, 7 p.m. at Nassau Presbyterian Church in Princeton and on Saturday, May 7, 7 p.m. at Princeton University Chapel, to hear the beautiful music showcased by all six ensembles of the Princeton Girlchoir.
