Engagement Program

The Engagement Program provides access to choral singing in populations that may not otherwise have access.
Current choirs function as after-school programs at partner schools.
Engagement choir singers participate in:
- weekly rehearsals at their school
- once-per-semester All-Engagement rehearsal at the TGC rehearsal hall
- performance in the community with sister choirs from TGC's River Rd location
- performance at the annual Sounds of Winter & Sounds of Spring concerts at Fox Tucson Theatre

Current School Partners:

Helen Keeling Elementary School, Amphitheater School District
Mary Belle McCorkle Academy of Excellence, Tucson Unified School District

"Tucson Girls Chorus provides our girls with amazing experiences that they otherwise would never get! They learn to work together and trust one another. Their self-esteem is strengthened every time they meet and their huge smiles tell us how much they fun they are having! The Tucson Girls Chorus experience at Keeling is priceless!"

-Annette Orelup

Principal at Helen Keeling Elementary
