Musica de Filia Girlchoir
Portland, Maine, USA
Musica de Filia ("Daughters of Music") is a unique, all female choir, founded in 1997 and directed by Jaye Churchill.  The Lyric Choir, our youngest group, is now directed by Jessica Russell.

The goal of Musica de Filia is to provide superb choral performance training and performance opportunities for girls and women.

Girls learn and perform a wide variety of choral music styles, including classical, Broadway, holiday, sacred, Gospel,  traditional and contemporary American and foreign language choral music.  (If you are considering membership, please follow this link to see more on our repertoire.)

We provide a warm and friendly environment emphasizing poise, self-discipline, and musical excellence.

Membership is by audition.  Our 235 members hail from 29 southern and central Maine communities.

Following a succesful audition girl singers are placed into one of our four girl choirs.  The Lyric Choir is for our youngest singers and those who are new to choral music, generally grades 2-4.  The Apprentice Choir is for girls in grades 4-6 who are ready to sing more challenging music.  Singers in grades 7-12 are members of our Concert Choir. The Chamber Choir is a smaller choir for girls in grades 8-12, and has a more rigorous audition process.

All rehearsals take place at our studio, 550 Forest Avenue, Portland, Maine.  We rehearse September through May.
