DESCRIPTION
The Princeton Girlchoir, founded in 1989 by Janet A. Westrick, is
a growing and vibrant organization dedicated to training young
female singers in a choral setting. There are currently four
auditioned choirs: The Grace Notes (introductory); The Semi-
Tones (intermediate); the Concert Choir (the primary choir) and
the Cantores (high school choir).
Girls are accepted from Grades 3-12 and placed in
the appropriate choir level based on the audition. All choirs
perform varied age-appropriate repertoire, including classical,
folk, jazz, and popular music in various languages. As a
community based choir, PGC is represented by girls in more
than 25 communities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Auditions are held in April
for the following year.
PROGRAMS
The Princeton Girlchoir performs two major concerts each year,
winter and spring, as well as performing for groups, both local
and beyond the immediate Princeton area.
The Concert Choir tours every summer for 1-2 weeks in July.
