From the very beginning...

 

The Mississippi Girlchoir began in 1995 under the leadership of Ms. Lillian Lee. The group started with just 17 young women and has grown to more that 100 voices divided in four distinct choirs. The Mississippi Girlchoir is a choral music education and performance organization for girls in grades three through twelve.

 

• The organization consists of four choirs whose members come from more than forty school environments; public, private and home schools, from a six county area in central Mississippi.

 

• The Mississippi Girlchoir has gained a national and international reputation performing in Washington, D.C.; New Orleans; Boston; Eugene, Oregon; Charlotte, N.C.; Birmingham, AL.; Hawaii; Toronto; England and Italy. In July of 2007 they performed in the Sydney Opera House in Australia and in January of 2008 performed in Carnegie Hall with the Mississippi College Singers.

 

• They have been invited as the choir to represent Mississippi in the American Musical Salute to Hawaii- Commemorating 50 years of Statehood in 2009.

 

The Mississippi Girlchoir is made up of four distinct choirs:

 

Bel Canto...touring and performing choir for older girls.
