Tuition/Fees

All choirs meet from September to June on a weekly basis.

Tuition is $1500 per year for each chorus member. In addition to the tuition fee there is a one-time, non-refundable registration fee of $150 due upon joining. Tuition may be paid all at once or in installments as long as the minimum payment is $150/month. When more than one child in the same family is in the chorus, tuition for the first child is $1500, and each additional sibling may pay a reduced tuition of $1450. The PGC Board of Directors offers generous tuition assistance for qualified applicants.

Parental expectations

Volunteer Expectations:
the PGC asks that parents use talents, ideas, and connections to further the mission of the PGC by devoting at least 5 hours per year to PGC volunteer activities. Volunteer opportunities include: staffing the desk and doors during weekly rehearsals, ushering, chaperoning, setting up and cleaning up for concerts and chaperoning girls during concerts and performances.

Fundraising Expectations: the PGC seeks to enroll all interested singers. By design, the annual tuition has a deficit of $800 per singer so that all girls may participate in our program regardless of family economics. Through foundation and corporate support, the PGC has traditionally been able to cover half that amount. As a community, the PGC families make up the remainder through our fundraisers and our Annual Contribution Campaign.

"PGC is amazing! I have sung so many different styles of music in all sorts of different languages over my many years in PGC, from pieces in Hawaiian and Hindi to Mozart. I always loved to sing, but PGC has fostered that joy and taught me great technique and musicianship at the same time. PGC is a great community and a wonderful place to grow.”
