| The Golden Concert Choir and Children's Choir of Golden are constantly striving to achieve excellence through repertoire. Under the direction of Allison Olsson, we are presented with challenging music and we all have increased our ability to answer the call. We attract and retain quality singers through introductory as well as sophisticated musical selections that keep the choirs fresh and ever working toward self and group improvement. Listed below is the historical material that GCC and CCG have performed. If you have any questions or comments for us, please feel free to e-mail our Membership Organizer with your information. |
