The Golden Gate International Children’s Choral Festival has, in seven years, become one of America’s most celebrated gatherings of young choral performers and a premiere showcase for youth choirs representing musical genres that range from historical folk to contemporary. Created and sponsored by Piedmont Choirs, the Festival has drawn performers from nations around the globe, including Russia, China, South Africa, Colombia, Indonesia, Cuba, Germany, Taiwan and more. This weeklong event will include formal performances by selected groups, and it is O1C’s privilege and pleasure to host one of these concerts tonight.
