The special thing about being a part of a group like ours is that we all have a stronger connection every time we are able to go on a trip like this. There was only twelve of us in NYC, and I think it gave us all an opportunity to get to know everyone so much better than before. We made so many memories!!! Cole’s name on Carnegie Hall, the Plaza Hotel, being on vocal rest together, and so many more. Bravo and thank you to my fellow singers, I am so lucky to know you and sing with you! Thank you to the chaperones, I have absolutely no idea how you dealt with us for so long, but thank you nevertheless. A huge thank you to Cassidy(who is going to hate me for writing this), my fellow soprano, fundraiser, and Target enthusiast. Thank you for all the Target runs, late night facetimes to practice,  laughs, hugs, and endless support of me and everyone else in the group. I can’t wait to HC the cr*p out of next year with you. I love you!!  Last but CERTAINLY not least, thank you to Mr. Cole. You came to our chorus at a time we desperately needed you, but we didn’t know it yet. Your dedication and enthusiasm was exactly what we needed to head back into the world of live music and I am endlessly thankful that I have a role model like you. You make an effort with each one of us, to get to know us, to connect with us and support us. I’ve never had a director genuinely want to be around us for a long time, and yet you talked with Nora, Cassidy, and me for the entire cruise. We would not be where we are today without you, and we have so much farther to go with you. I love you!! I’m sorry to those who read this, because it is so long. I love you too!
Love, Georgia

SUMMER CAMP FOR GIRLS ENTERING GRADES K-5 / SAN RAFAEL (Marinwood)

Calling all girls who love to sing, perform and play! Join us for exciting singing, dancing, art, new friendships and much more at this year's Summer Sings! Music Camp. With much singing and a special focus for each week, singers will learn vocal techniques while exploring a wide variety of music, performance skills, and artistic expression.

Each week ends with a Showcase Performance for families on Fridays at 2:00pm

Check out a sample week of camp.

Every week of camp will have a focus with something fun and different from the rest.

June 13-17
Music Exploration
A little of everything! Musical theater, choral work and vocal technique, d ance, arts and crafts, plus time to play and explore musical instruments. For our returning campers, this will feel like our previous years, where you have at least 4 sessions each day, exploring a different art in each. The week culminates in a sharing of our favorite songs from the week, including showing off our art projects as props or costume pieces for the musical theater numbers.

June 20-24
Musical Theater
For the aspiring singer and performer. This week, we will work more extensively on scenes and songs from a musical theater show to produce at the end of the week. The sessions will include working on dialogue and blocking, as well as a focus on costumes and set ideas. Vocal work to fine tune the songs and opportunities for soloing, too!

June 27 - July 1
Singing & Art
During this week, our focus will be singing and creating with our hands. With multiple projects through the week, some individually and some more collaboratively, we will explore many different media. One session will integrate Art with Music and Movement. We will share our finished products with our music at the end of the week.

July 11 -15
Singing & Dancing
This week, you'll have a chance to get creatively moving with lots of different dance styles, plus creating your own choreography, and improvising. We will incorporate some "choralography" into our songs, too! Some sessions will include more mindfulness, with yoga, stretching and partner work. On the last day, we will show off our songs and moves.
​
Times:  9:00am - 3:00pm
Where:  Church of the Nativity, 333 Ellen Drive, Marinwood
Cost:  $399.95 / 5 days

Featuring:
2 rehearsal sessions per day
Daily crafts, creating props and other artwork
Vocal warm-ups and techniques for healthy vocal production

Summer Singing Camp for Girls in K-5th Grades

Summer Sings is our summer music camp for girls entering Kindergarten through 5th grades in Marin County. Our 2-week camp is inclusive, collaborative & FUN

Well let me be the first to say that this trip was beyond incredible. It was an experience I am never going to forget, and changed me as a person. I made so many amazing memories with every person who went on tour. The performance was incredible, and so were all the other times with fellow singers and chaperones. Shout out to all our chaperones, it could not have been easy to wrangle twelve girls into some semblance of a line. Of course, the trip would not have been possible without the amazing Mr. Cole. From counting off in the airport to the boat trip and all the months and years before, I don't think any of us could have asked for a better conductor.
Can't wait to make more memories next year!!
- Love, Cassidy

The Bel Canto level welcomes singers entering 6th, 7th, or 8th grade. Bel Canto singers are required to make a full season commitment, though we do allow singers to join throughout the year provided there is space. Bel Canto singers rehearse once a week. At this level, balance is critical, and the repertoire, which is determined by the composition of the group, is more extensive and is performed throughout the year.​

Bel Canto singers are eligible to participate in the June 2021 Carnegie Hall tour.

Dear Carnegie Hall Artists,

Please take a moment to share a story of your favorite memory from our time in New York City!

# data[].attributes.body
As we were boarding our bus out front of the Westin Time Square, one of the hotel managers approached me and asked if I was the director of the Marin Girls Chorus. I proudly said yes. He then thanked me for having such a wonderfully behaved and organized group of girls. Thank you to the amazing staff at the Westin for make us feel so welcome and at home!

This morning as the girls enjoyed breakfast in the hotel, a few of them took the initiative to help others with their music theory. These girls are our future! I assure you, our future is in better hands than our past and present. Never stop encouraging and empowering them. CHILDREN WILL LISTEN!
