Ensembles for the 2025-2026 Season

At the Georgia Children’s Chorus, singers are placed into ensembles through a welcoming placement process designed to ensure the best environment for artistic and personal growth. Because our ensembles intentionally overlap in age range, placement is based not only on a singer’s grade level, but also on their vocal ability, musical experience, maturity, and rehearsal habits. Through this approach, we create supportive, skill-appropriate learning spaces that nurture musicianship, build confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of singing.

New Voices

New Voices is the Georgia Children’s Chorus’s introductory choral ensemble for children in grades 2–4, designed to spark a lifelong love of music through joyful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate instruction. This beginning choir introduces young singers to the fundamentals of healthy vocal technique, unison and simple two-part singing, steady beat, and basic music reading. Through a curriculum rich in movement, games, and songs from around the world, singers develop musical skills in a playful, nurturing environment that supports individual growth and ensemble awareness. New Voices performs approximately four times yearly, giving children their first exciting taste of sharing music with an audience and being part of a larger artistic community.

New Voices rehearses on Tuesdays, 4:45-5:45pm.

Treble Chorus

Treble Chorus serves singers in grades 4–6 who have developed foundational music skills and are ready to deepen their musicianship. This ensemble emphasizes learning to read and interpret music through two-part singing, vocal technique, and music literacy, including solfège training and singing in multiple languages. Rehearsals blend focused skill-building with creative movement and interactive music games, helping singers gain confidence and ensemble awareness. Treble Chorus members perform regularly throughout the year, showcasing their growing artistry in concerts and community events, while building a strong sense of teamwork and commitment to choral excellence.

Treble Chorus rehearses on Tuesdays, 4:30-5:45pm.

Concert Choir

Concert Choir is Georgia Children’s Chorus’s advanced ensemble for treble voice singers in grades 6–12 who are eager to grow as musicians and performers. Designed for singers with developing music literacy and strong rehearsal skills, Concert Choir focuses on refining vocal technique, expressive singing, and advanced part-singing in unison, 2-, 3-, and 4-part repertoire. Members of this ensemble are passionate about singing, excited to take on musical challenges, and committed to collaboration and excellence. With an average of 5-6 performances annually, Concert Choir singers deepen their artistry and confidence while building meaningful connections through shared musical experiences.

Lyric Ensemble

Lyric Ensemble is an advanced treble choir for singers in grades 9–12 eager to perform challenging and innovative repertoire within a joyful and empowering community. Designed for committed singers with strong performance skills, this upper-level ensemble focuses on expressive singing, a cappella work, and new works for treble voices. Lyric Ensemble performs independently and in collaboration with other GCC ensembles, fostering musical excellence, personal growth, and meaningful collaboration. Due to the flexible rehearsal schedule, singers in Lyric Ensemble are not required to sing in Concert Choir (though most of them do!)

Lyric Ensemble rehearses as needed throughout the year.

Low Key Collective

Low Key Collective is a new Georgia Children’s Chorus initiative that offers high-quality choral training and performance opportunities for middle and high school singers with low voices (tenor, baritone, and bass). Addressing a critical gap in Northeast Georgia’s youth choral landscape, this ensemble provides a space where singers can strengthen their musical skills, explore repertoire written for their vocal range, and grow in confidence and leadership. As both a training chorus and performance ensemble, Low Key Collective supports vocal development, music literacy, and peer mentorship, ensuring continuity for singers as their voices change. Rehearsing weekly at the Hugh Hodgson School of Music and performing in major GCC concerts and community events, Low Key Collective celebrates the unique contribution of low voices. It extends GCC’s mission to nurture exceptional musicians and extraordinary human beings.

Low Key Collective rehearses on Tuesdays, 6:00 -7:30 pm.
