    On Wednesday, February 14, 2024, a half-dozen barbershop quartets will fan out across the Augusta - Aiken metro area to deliver Singing Valentines to hundreds of special sweethearts. The sound of harmony will ring out in offices, restaurants, schools and homes throughout the Augusta metro area. Wherever they appear, they'll draw a crowd -- and sometimes a few tears.
    The quartets belong to the Augusta Chapter of the 18,000-member Barbershop Harmony Society, which is headquartered in Nashville, TN.

    An "in person" Singing Valentine! Package starts at $75 and includes a tuxedo clad quartet serenade with two beautiful love songs, a nicely decorated rose, and a card with your personal, special message

    Come sing with us!  The Garden City Chorus is looking for new members.  Do you enjoy singing with the radio, or in the shower, or in a choir?   You don’t have to “read” music.  (We provide audio recordings for each part of each song, for ease of learning.)  We meet every Tuesday night from 7-9 PM at 600 W. Martintown Rd in North Augusta (just south of I20, Exit 1).   Call 803-599-4228 or visit www.gardencitychorus.org  for more information.  Come join our merry band of dwarves, hobbits, elves and men as we “push back the darkness” with harmony.

    Our rehearsals are open - please join us!

     
  • Music Scholarships

  •  Date Posted: Wed, Jul 21 2021
    In 2017, the Garden City Chorus initiated music scholarships for area high school seniors who plan to further their education.  To our knowledge, these are the only scholarships of their kind in the CSRA.  To date, we have awarded over $10,000. In the fall of 2021, the Chorus designated our scholarship as the STEVE WILDER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP.  Steve was instumental in establishing and administering this scholarship, and we were very sadenned by his untiimley and unexpected death.

    We want to especially thank Turners Keyboards for their support of the scholarship program.  Every year since inception, Turners has provided a scholarship to a Davidson Fine Arts School senior.  

    If you or your organization would like to sponsor a scholarship, please email info@gardencitychorus.org.  We do all the work at no charge - you get all the credit.

    Another source of scholarship funds is our annual show.  More information is available elsewhere on this site, or you can donate now by clicking the "Donate Now" link on our homepage.
