About the AGC

Austin Girls' Choir provides a fantastic opportunity for musically talented girls aged 8 to 18 to perform a wide range of music in Austin and beyond.

• AGC has been featured in local newscasts and on CNN, C-SPAN and BBC Radio.
• The group regularly performs at the Texas Governor's Mansion.
• The Choir has sung in Ballet Austin Nutcracker productions, performed with Austin Lyric Opera and Austin Symphony Orchestra, and sung for numerous state events, parades, festivals and churches.

Top singers tour annually, with international tours in alternate years. The tours are structured to give the girls an opportunity to widen their repertoire both musically and culturally. Past performances and tours include:

Selected AGC choristers may attend Royal School of Church Music summer choir camps in other states.

Austin girls' Choir consists of a three-level Junior Choir for girls aged 8 to 14, and a Senior Ensemble for advanced singers aged 13 to 18. Our choristers come from all over Austin and surrounding communities. They share a strong love for music and music-making, and enjoy the opportunity to learn challenging music. Two one-week summer day camps are also available to choristers and non-choristers. AGC choristers develop and enhance their musical skills, function as part of a team, enjoy the challenge of singing in three- and four-part harmony, sing in several languages, and grow in self-esteem while sharing the beauty of their accomplishments with appreciative audiences.
