Durham Girls’ Choir
Girls from across Durham region come together in this active, fun, performing choir. Our Junior and Senior ensembles provide girls aged seven through 18 an opportunity to sing together, build team spirit, and participate in a variety of public performances. Through weekly rehearsals our members build leadership skills, further their musical education, and create lasting friendships. Registration for our 2018/19 season is now open, and young singers of all talent levels are encouraged to join us as we share the joy of music with our Durham Region community.
