Northwest Girlchoir

Mission

Northwest Girlchoir revolutionizes choral education by rejoicing in students’ voices and creativity through embodied music-making. Guided by our commitment to anti-racism, we inspire joy, belonging, and confidence, and cultivate community through shared experience. Our treble choirs welcome and affirm girls and all youth marginalized by gender.

Vision

We envision a just and joyful community in which singers become comfortable in their bodies, confident in their voices, and connected with each other and the wider world of music-makers.

Description

Now in its 51st year, Northwest Girlchoir provides outstanding music education in a nurturing environment where choristers can learn, grow, and be themselves. Over five decades, thousands of youth have become part of our community and experienced the joy of choral music, the pride of performances and tours, and the combined sense of independence and belonging. With a tradition of 6 choirs and 270 choristers ages 6-18, we perform frequently throughout the year and collaborate with other arts organizations and community partners. 

Your help is needed in funding Northwest Girlchoir’s tuition assistance program, along with all our choir programs. Northwest Girlchoir believes anyone who loves to sing should be able to join our choir regardless of their family’s ability to pay full tuition. We offer generous need-based tuition assistance for choir, tours, and summer camp. Because of our commitment to equity and access – and thanks to the generosity of donors like you – the total amount of the tuition assistance we are able to give this year is more than five times the amount given ten years ago.

Thanks to a generous Northwest Girlchoir alum parent, Michael King, we have a pledge of $5,000 to get us started. Michael will match the first $5,000 raised toward our tuition assistance goal of $12,000 that we need to raise this choir year. And for extra fun, everyone who makes a GiveBIG donation to Northwest Girlchoir by May 8 will be entered into a drawing for a Canlis Gift Card worth $800!

Donate to Northwest Girlchoir by May 8 to help us reach our fundraising goal and for a chance to win a delicious evening out at Canlis. Thank you for helping ensure access for all to the outstanding music education available at Northwest Girlchoir.
