        Tour Option 3 560x339

        Touring in 2027

        2027 Concert Level, Camerata and Performing Choir

        For many girls the idea of travelling, singing, dancing, making new friends, workshopping and performing as part of an AGC touring team of 50+ girls is a dream come true. We know this because we have just completed our 52nd tour and the feedback is absolutely consistent. It doesn’t matter whether the tour is to a charming regional town in Australia or to a fabulous international city; the girls develop their performance skills, are challenged in all the best ways and come home reporting some of the most wonderful experiences of their lives. Parents reliably report increased levels of maturity as well as improved understanding about other people’s lives in different parts of the country or the world.

         

        Year on year, we have many more girls apply to tour than we are able to accommodate on our regular two tours in September so we’ve decided to add an additional tour to our program in 2027. As is always the case at this time of year, we are exploring a range of options in terms of which cities and towns to visit or re-visit. We’re fortunate to have a wonderful network of choirs and schools throughout Australia and in many countries around the world; we will be liaising with potential host groups in coming months in order to put our plans in place.

          AGC Open Day 560x339

          AGC Open Days

           

          Our upcoming Open Days in November give potential new choristers the chance to try an AGC class, meet our welcoming staff members, attend an information session and register for 2027 classes. With 6,000 girls taking part in our classes each week we have found that there is no surer way of letting other girls ‘in on the secret’ than by word of mouth. Should you wish to recommend the AGC to your family and friends please encourage them to visit our website below to find out more about our Open Days!

                Girls from Oz Travel Program 560x339

                Girls from Oz Travel Program

                 

                The g-oz Travel Program offers selected girls from the remote communities of Halls Creek, Lockhart River, Kowanyama and Bidyadanga the chance to connect with peer-aged Australian Girls Choir members through a unique cultural exchange in a major Australian city. Since 2009, over 300 girls have had the opportunity to attend this program. A key element of making these programs come to life is the incredible generosity of the ASPA community, including the 16 AGC families who volunteer to host the visiting g-oz participants. 

                • This November, our 23rd and 24th g-oz Travel Programs will be delivered in Melbourne and Perth.
                • The girls will participate in a wide range of educational, vocational and tourist activities, including performances at the AGC Annual Concerts.
                • The girls will also experience a rich, transformative week with their AGC host families, including attending rehearsals together with their host sisters. 

                The goal of this year’s g-oz Giving Circle Campaign was $100,000 to fund the Travel Program and this target was exceeded – thank you to those of you who supported this work.
