Mission

The mission of the North Georgia Children’s Chorus is to train young singers musically and artistically, and to sing to the glory of God. The Chorus is dedicated to developing musical excellence, artistry, and literacy through the choral arts. We strive to give our singers an experience that will inspire them and encourage them to continue making music throughout their lives.

How Does My Child Join the Chorus?

If you have a child who is interested in joining the chorus, please call or email Ruth Purcell to schedule an audition. Then please view the NGCC Registration page to see the tuition policy and complete the registration form for your child.

The North Georgia Children's Chorus was originally envisioned as an opportunity for homeschoolers to experience choral singing and to be exposed to fine choral literature. Since its inception in the fall of 2007, the group has grown and the vision has expanded as well. The chorus now provides an opportunity for treble singers from public and private schools, as well as homeschoolers, to experience choral singing.
