Over our 30-year history, we have toured by invitation, collaborated with other musical groups, and commissioned new works for women’s voices.

Here’s What People Are Saying About Our Recent Concerts…

“My crew spanning three generations all loved it. They loved the themes, the professionalism, and most of all the performances. They thought the singing was beautiful and emotionally powerful.”

“I closed my eyes and tears slowly welled in my eyes and rolled down my cheeks during Shalom.”

“That was a smashing concert, so lively and energetic. I was amazed that you all memorized all those songs, impressive. Thanks so much for the fun afternoon.”

“The Sunday concert at the Art Museum was absolutely marvelous … I was particularly impressed by the responsiveness of the many singers — almost like a small chamber choir — and the nuanced performance they offered.” 

“A wonderful surprise that a community chorus can be this artistic and professional!”

“It was the best AZ Women’s Chorus concert I’ve been to. You looked like you were all having so much fun. The music was perfect for your voices, and the blend of parts was so good!!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed your Arizona Women’s Chorus concert, “Goin’ Retro.” We didn’t really know what to expect, but we were so glad that we decided to attend.”

“It was joyful … a plea for peace, hope, and joy. The program was great, the voices were great, and I love, love, loved seeing each singer … so happy they had to move with the music. “

“Wonderful, wonderful, and uplifting concert. It really touched me”
