After a medical sabbatical during the spring of 2016, NGCC is back in business and excited to launch our tenth season with the fall concert, FALL BACK!, a program of music from the 1960’s. Melissa Goodwin and Ruth Purcell are the current staff. See our bios on the ABOUT page.

A number of invitations were mailed or given out by area teachers, singers and their families, and former singers to prospective new members “from a secret inviter.” Veteran singer Raven Peterson won the award for the most new prospects recruited! At the party on August 23rd at the Auraria Community Club, new and old singers and families got to know one another, enjoyed a delicious potluck supper, and did some folk dancing afterwards.

During the last week of August, the final round of auditions will take place in both Dahlonega and Dawsonville.

NGCC added two new concert venues this season, in Gainesville at First Presbyterian Church, and in Dawsonville at Grace Presbyterian Church.

On Saturday, November 9, 2013, NGCC joined the throngs of shoppers and visitors in the Fellowship Hall at Dahlonega Baptist Church. At 11:30 we sang through the Christmas portion of our program. Because of the venue, it was hard for us to hear ourselves and hard for the audience to hear us, but folks were doing their best to listen as they walked around and looked at all the wonderful crafts and Christmas gifts. It was a good experience for us to sing in public for the first time this season.
