Performance Opportunities
-
Students in the Grande Prairie Children’s Choir perform alongside the Grande Prairie Singers (our adult community choir) at our annual GPCA May and December concerts, and also other informal performances throughout the year. These events give children the chance to shine on stage, share their hard work, and experience the thrill of making music in a professional-level setting.
