Happy 36th Birthday to the Australian Girls Choir

Happy 36^th Birthday to the Australian Girls Choir

On March 7, the day before International Women’s Day, the Australian Girls Choir celebrates its 36^th birthday!

From humble beginnings and the belief that girls could sing just as well as boys , the AGC has grown into an internationally recognised, cultural icon.

36 years since the very first rehearsal in Burwood, the choir continues to go from strength to strength. Now in 30 locations across Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, today we are proud to have over 6500 girls learning to sing, dance and perform in our weekly classes.

We want to say a sincere thank you to all of our choristers, AGC parents, Alumni network, tutors, office staff and everyone in the extended AGC and ASPA family for your continued support and belief in inspiring and uplifting young girls through the power of the performing arts.
