Since 1978, the San Francisco Girls Chorus (SFGC) has been redefining what a youth chorus can be. A five-time GRAMMY Award-winning ensemble, SFGC brings together hundreds of singers ages 4–18 from across the Bay Area under the visionary leadership of Artistic Director Valérie Sainte-Agathe — delivering performances that span a millennium of music with clarity, heart, and fearless artistry. From Carnegie Hall to the Kennedy Center, SFGC continues to shape the future of choral music while empowering young voices to excel in music and in life.

“You can throw just about anything at these young singers, and they’ll respond with panache...there is a lovely spirit of adventure, a sense that these performers are game for anything. ”
