Hilary Butler's Company Details
The Princeton Girlchoir, founded in 1989 as an after-school activity for a small number of girls interested in choral music, has grown into the area's premier training and performance choir for girls, with over 200 choristers. The choir presents music from a wide array of genres, conductors and composers. While honing their musicianship, our choristers begin life-long friendships, enjoy professional performance opportunities, and travel the world. We are a family of six choirs, beginning with third-graders and including girls through their high-school years. Choristers from towns throughout Central New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania come together each week from September through May to rehearse, and they perform some four to twenty concerts throughout the year, depending upon their choir level. The Princeton Girlchoir has been honored to perform in a wide array of venues for audiences both nationally and internationally. Notable performances include the swearing-in ceremony for New Jersey Congressman Rush Holt in Washington, DC; singing in Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center with Yo-Yo Ma and the American Boychoir in the North American Premiere of Tan Dun's Symphony 1997; guest choir at the American Boychoir's National Choral Conference; and appearances at several professional conferences, such as the American Choral Directors Association Eastern Regional Conventions, the Kodály Eastern Division Conference and the New Jersey Music Educators Association Conference.
