Board	of	Directors	–	British	Columbia	Girls	Choir	

giving	voice,	changing	lives,	creating	extraordinary	music	

About	Us	

The	British	Columbia	Girls	Choir	Society	(BCGC)	is	an	award-winning	choral	organization	
committed	to	empowering	young	voices	through	exceptional	music	education	and	unforgettable	
performance	opportunities.	Our	society	was	founded	in	1998	as	AcademyWest	Schola	Cantorum	
and	in	2004	changed	the	name	to	the	British	Columbia	Girls	Choir.	Hundreds	of	young	singers	have	
been	empowered	to	excel	in	music	and	in	life	through	BCGC’s	world-class	music	education,	
transformative	performances,	and	global	experiences.		

Our	choristers	have	performed	alongside	world-renowned	ensembles	and	solo	artists	such	as	
the	Vancouver	Chamber	Choir,	Chor	Leoni,	Elektra,	Ben	Heppner	and	The	Nylons	and	have	
performed	in	iconic	venues	and	cultural	landmarks	across	Europe,	Australia,	China,	and	the	
Americas.	In	2018,	BCGC	earned	the	title	of	Children’s	Choir	of	the	World	at	the	
prestigious	Llangollen	International	Musical	Eisteddfod	in	Wales.	

Currently,	BCGC	serves	up	to	150	+	singers	across	five	choir	levels,	from	Grades	1	through	12,	
including	the	annual	SpringSing	Education	Outreach	Program,	which	brings	together	young	
singers	in	Grades	4	to	6,	to	work	under	the	leadership	of	Artistic	Director	Cassie	Luftspring	and	
culminates	in	a	performance	at	our	season	finale	concert.	Our	singers	come	from	12	communities	
across	the	Lower	Mainland,	including	Burnaby;	Coquitlam;	Langley;	Maple	Ridge;	Mission;	New	
Westminster;	North	Vancouver;	Pitt	Meadows;	Port	Coquitlam;	Port	Moody;	Surrey;	and	Vancouver.	

At	BCGC,	we	are	proud	to	offer	a	rich	and	supportive	environment	that	fosters	teamwork,	discipline,	
and	musical	excellence.	Singers	develop	lasting	friendships	in	a	safe,	respectful	and	supportive	
environment	that	nurtures	their	musical	and	personal	growth,	with	bene]its	extending	beyond	the	
music:	BCGC	programs	build	con]idence	and	foster	social	and	personal	responsibility,	while	offering
