Special to The Times
The Birmingham Girls Choir (BGC) will be auditioning for new members from July 25 through July 29 at Edgewood Presbyterian Church on Oxmoor Road in Homewood.
The BGC is a vocal music training program for girls entering Grades 1 through 12 who have musical talent and the desire to serve others through the performance of high quality vocal music.
Members rehearse weekly, perform at community events, sing in hospitals and nursing homes and travel locally and regionally. They have performed for former first Lady Laura Bush; have been seen on stage with Opera Birmingham in numerous performances, and with the Moscow Ballet for the Nutcracker at the Alabama Theater.
Later this month two of members will travel to Pennsylvania to sing with the National Girls Choir.
Choir members come from all over the greater Birmingham area. Many also participate in school, church or community choirs. The program is supported by tuition and has a scholarship program.
The choir is based at Edgewood Presbyterian Church on Oxmoor Road in Homewood. BGC welcomes singers of all faiths and backgrounds.
