Now entering its third decade, ably led by Co-Conductors Roberta Q. Jackson and Debra R. Burgess, the award-winning PSG is taking its place among the finest children's choral ensembles in the country. Over 1,000 young women ages 5 to 18, who love to sing, have come together through the years to create the distinct voice of the Portland Symphonic Girlchoir, and the 100+-strong ensemble joins the 33-strong, '20th Anniversary Alums & Mums Choir' for 17 piano-accompanied, selected live cuts, recorded from 2008 to 2010. Favorites are a pair by Duke Ellington,' 'It Don't Mean A Thing' and 'Mood Indigo,' Charles Collins' 'Mary Had A Little Blues,' Bill Perison's 'Naughty Four O'Clocks,' 'Gershwin for Girls,' Moses Hogan's 'Ride On, King Jesus,' Charles Collins' 'The Star,' Stephen Hatfield's 'Living In a Holy City,' 'Deep Peace, a Gaelic Blessing' and David Brunner's 'A Song to End All Wars.' We love the sweet, spirited sound of the Portland Symphonic Girlchoir, one of the best in the world!
