Chorus Levels
Winston-Salem Girls Chorus offers different level chorus programs to meet the needs of our children and youth. Our chorus program offers choirs for girls ages Kindergarten - 12th grades.
LYRICA Intermediate Choir
LYRICA is group of auditioned girl singers from grades 4-8. Membership is available to girls in the 4th-*8th grades who love to sing, and are interested in a higher-level musical experience. An audition and interview is required. Singers must match pitch and have good listening skills. LYRICA provides group vocal instruction, basic musicianship,and uses music from all styles and periods that form the foundation for musical learning and serves as the basis for the curriculum.
Musical concepts—melody, harmony, timbre, dynamics, form, style, and performance practice—that are taught in the rehearsals. Included are musical skills, such as singing, theory, sight reading (including solfege), etc. These concepts and skills are taught through a singing-based curriculum, listening, and analysis.
*7th grade singers who have participated for 3+ years in our younger choirs, and 8th grade singers with previous musical instruction and singing experience, may be eligible to audition for ENCORE, our advanced choir. ENCORE is for singers through 12th grade.

Performances and sharing our music are a big part of the LYRICA Choir experience. LYRICA performs throughout the Winston-Salem area approximately every 4-6 weeks, and more often during the Christmas Season. Past performances include the Winston-Salem Symphony, Duke Chapel, Reynolda House, and local retirement communities. Sometimes we combine our performances with other choirs. A state-wide festival is included every March when we travel to either Charlotte, Greensboro, or Raleigh, for a Friday night/Saturday event.
