The Greater Dallas Choral Society for children and youth (GDCS) is the premier choral organization for singers in grades 4–12 throughout Dallas–Fort Worth. GDCS was founded in 2022 to carry forward the legacy and mission of the Children’s Chorus of Greater Dallas, 1997–2022, which is to give children and youth an experience in choral artistry in a group that reflects the diversity of the Dallas metroplex.
A nationally recognized organization, GDCS proudly serves as the official children’s chorus of The Dallas Opera. Singers from GDCS’s Ensembles Program frequently perform with leading Dallas-based music organizations, including the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Singers, Dallas Winds, and others. Its five choral ensembles and Summer Singing Camp engage more than 350 children and youth from 35 communities within a 35-mile radius of downtown Dallas. More than 3,500 patrons attend GDCS season concerts annually at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center.
GDCS is a tuition-based organization that rehearses on Monday evenings during the school year. Tuition assistance is available based on financial need. Auditions are held each year from April through May. For more information, visit www.dallaschoralsociety.org.
