MORE THAN A CHOIR REHEARSAL
The Chorister Experience
Members of NWGC connect to one another and learn about the wider world through collaborations, culture bearers, tours, and camp. It's all part of what it means to be a chorister here.

Languages We've Sung
Learning about a culture and its music takes more than knowing how to pronounce words in a piece. NWGC brings culture bearers into rehearsal whenever we sing in a language other than English, so choristers learn pronunciation from a native speaker, performance practice from a cultural insider, and how a piece fits into its own cultural landscape.

PLACES WE'VE TOURED
Raku through CorAzón tour on a regular rotation
Touring forges new friendships, deepens current bonds, and builds musical and nonmusical skills. Performing for new audiences and representing our community offer real opportunities for group and individual growth. Fees are in addition to annual tuition, and financial aid is available so everyone can participate.
