GREAT LAKES TREBLE CHOIR

Celebrating the bridge-building joy of music!

The Great Lakes Treble Choir, formerly the Little Traverse Youth Choir, is open to singers, ages 7-13 years who love to sing and make new friends. The Great Lakes Treble Choir has performed with children around the world in the Children of the World in Harmony Festivals, the Northern Michigan Chorale, Treble With Chocolate, the Petoskey Downtown Open House, Cross Village Tree Lighting at Three Pines Studio, singing with Santa in Downtown Petoskey and at Stafford's Perry Hotel, Little Traverse Civic Theatre's 2015 production of Annie, First Presbyterian Church of Harbor Springs, and a variety of local concerts. We are so grateful to Petoskey United Methodist Church for providing rehearsal space to the choir.
