About the San Francisco Girls Chorus
Celebrating more than 30 years of extraordinary music with its 2009-2010 season, the San Francisco Girls Chorus is recognized as one of the world’s most respected vocal ensembles. This high caliber of music making was most recently recognized with two 2010 Grammy Awards—Best Classical Performance and Best Choral Performance--with the San Francisco Symphony and Maestro Michael Tilson Thomas for Mahler’s Symphony No. 8. The San Francisco Girls Chorus’ level of training, performance, quality, range, passion and leadership in commissioning music for treble voices are lauded by musicians, critics and audiences. In 2009 the Chorus was invited to perform for the inauguration of President Barack Obama in Washington DC, and the same year made it’s New York debut at Lincoln Center to acclaim.
