You will enjoy the beautiful voices and the eclectic mix of world and classical music which are GRCC's signature. 

Register now for 2012-2013

 

Boys and girls ages 8 and up are welcome. Students don't need to sing well now; they just need an interest in singing and a desire to learn more. Students will have an opportunity to work their way up to sing in our top touring choirs which are internationally recognized for their excellence. See our  flyer.

 

We start our season with a week of summer camp which will be held August 13-17 at Westover Hills United Methodist Church. 

 

Regular weekly rehearsals are held at Grace & Holy Trinity Episcopal Church on Mondays or Tuesdays depending on the choir. See our website for more details.

 

Please call 804-201-1894 to schedule an appointment or for more information.

 

No audition is required for the entry level Treble Choir but we urge you to make an appointment to attend an information session. The sessions will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday June 2nd, and at 7:00 pm on Tuesday June 5th. A non-refundable $25 registration deposit is due at the time of acceptance. This will be applied towards tuition.  Candidates are notified of their acceptance into the choir immediately following their audition and/or information session. You can bring this form with you or get one when you come to the session.

 

 Call us. Thanks!
