The Girl Choir of South Florida is expanding its youth program to a satellite rehearsal location in Coral Springs.

The award-winning choir, for girls ages 6 to 18, will begin rehearsals at the end of August at St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church, 1400 Riverside Drive.

Entering its 18th year, the Girl Choir provides musical instructio­n and performanc­e opportunit­ies for young singers.

“We wanted to offer an option for members from Coral Springs and surroundin­g cities that is closer to home for them,” Artistic and Executive Director Sylvia Aycock said in a statement.

Three new ensembles will rehearse on Monday evenings at the church: the Prelude Choir (ages 6 to 10), the Melody Choir (ages 9 to 13) and the Harmony Choir (advanced singers ages 12 to 18).

Open auditions will be from 10 a.m. to noon Aug. 20 and from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 27 at the Girl Choir headquarte­rs, 319 Tarpon Drive, in Fort Lauderdale.
