The Choirs:
Performing and Touring
Each year the Peninsula Girls Chorus presents a number of concerts in December and in June.
In addition, the Chorus has performed for various civic and arts organizations, including the Community Service League of the Peninsula, the San Mateo City Arts Chamber series, and Child Advocates Great America fundraiser.
They performed Mahler's Symphony No. 8 with the Redwood Symphony and Orff's Carmina Burana with the Masterworks Chorale. They have performed with the El Camino Youth Symphony, and on the Performing Arts for Youth (PAYS) series.
Favorite performance venues include Filoli, “Deck the Halls” at Davies Symphony Hall, and the National Anthem at PacBell Park.
Touring and festival participation offer an additional opportunity for musical enrichment and performance. The Chorus has participated in numerous American Choral Directors Association children’s choir festivals, and hosted eight Bay Area Choruses in the Peninsula Children’s Choral Festival.
The Peninsula Girls Chorus has also toured Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia, New Zealand, and traveled to New Orleans for the prestigious Crescent City Children’s Choral Festival in June 2003. In June 2005, the chorus toured by invitation in Budapest, Vienna, and Prague to participate in celebrations marking the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II..
In June 2007, Concerta and Ensemble members will participate in the Sing a Mile High Festival in Denver Colorado. Tour information and forms can be found here (members only).
It is hoped that each chorister who progresses through the program will have an opportunity to participate in at least one tour.
