Our spring concert will be our quintessential 40th year anniversary concert, journeying through Phoenix’s rich choral history in honour and recognition of the individuals who’ve helped build our program.
While we honour our past, Phoenix also aims to engage future generations in choral music, which is why we are proud to share the stage with a youth choir. These students will be participating in the 2022-2023 Phoenix Choral Experience, an outreach program for youth choirs and educators. We are delighted that our 40th anniversary concert will premiere a new commissioned work by Saunder Choi performed together by Phoenix Chamber Choir and youth choir from the Phoenix Choral Experience.
Finally, we will have an opportunity to thank and include our community. Our concert will conclude with an interactive element in which Grammy nominated singer/composer and vocal activist Melanie DeMore will lead the audience in song. Melanie believes in the power of voices raised together, and we are looking forward to her sharing Lead With Love with Phoenix, students and audience members.
We look forward to honouring our past, building the future, and raising the voices of our community in song! We hope you’ll join us on May 7 as we celebrate 40 years of Phoenix Chamber Choir.
