Valérie Sainte-Agathe is a visionary charismatic choral conductor who has transformed the San Francisco Girls Chorus into a world-class vocal ensemble. Through collaborations with important composers and musicians, Sainte-Agathe introduces the young singers to music spanning over a thousand years, from plainchant, which are chants used in liturgies of the Western Church, to new commissions.
The Girls Chorus provides music education for girls and young women from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds, giving them the skills, self-discipline and confidence to succeed in music and in life.
