Georgia Boy Choir

The Georgia Boy Choir was founded by David White in 2009 to "achieve the highest possible standard of musical excellence while instilling in its members a life-long appreciation of music."[1]

The Georgia Boy Choir operates on a five-tier system of musical education for boys as young as five years old through high school. The choirs range from the youngest members in the Apprentice Choir to the oldest members of the Young Men's Ensemble. The pinnacle of the organization is the Concert Choir which performs at numerous venues throughout the year.

The choir's inaugural tour was to China, where it performed at venues like Beijing University and the Chengdu Concert Hall. The 2012 tour was to Scandinavia with performances in Copenhagen, Denmark; Oslo, Norway; and Estonia among other places. In the fall of 2010, it was announced that the Georgia Boy Choir was named the Ensemble-In-Residence at Peachtree Rd. United Methodist Church. The choir has also performed locally for the Atlanta Regional Commission, The Governor of Georgia, The Atlanta Rotary Club, and The Fish Radio Station. The choir was also invited to perform the National Anthem for Atlanta Thrashers games. During the 2013 NBA Playoffs, the choir sang the National Anthem for the final game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Indiana Pacers.

In 2018, the Georgia Boy Choir was embroiled in a sexual abuse lawsuit when former Assistant Director Ryan McKendrick was arrested for sexual battery. McKendrick was arrested by police and was briefly held in the county jail before he posted a $34,306 bond. The choir has not had any more allegations. [2]
