For Phoenix Chamber Choir, singing is more than a hobby: it is an essential part of who we are and how we engage with the world. For us, singing offers unifying power, even during an era that not one of us could have predicted, when so much is keeping us apart, and where the injustices of the world weigh heavy. We have told you from the beginning that we are strong, we are committed, and we will continue to spread hope through music. 

Thus, it is with great joy and pride that we present our 38th annual season: With One Voice.

We have been blown away by the response of our Coronavirus Rhapsody Parody video, which we released on March 31. One of the many common questions we’ve received in the outpouring of responses is “how did you make the video?” We give kudos to Phoenix Singers and board members extraordinaire, Vaughn Chauvin and Carolyn Shiau (both featured in the video as well) for their careful work editing and compiling the video.

We created this nifty Q & A guide to give you a behind-the-scenes glance at our process and perhaps give you some pointers for yours!

It is with immense sadness and regret that we inform you the Phoenix Board of Directors has decided to cancel the remainder of the 2019-2020 season. This cancellation includes all rehearsals and workshops, our April 22 Earth Songs concert, and our June 2020 auditions and recording sessions. 

The stakes of the COVID-19 pandemic are just too high to justify asking our singers, artistic staff, and dearest friends and family to gather together. The truth is there will be other opportunities to sing together and perform for you all, but it is important we prioritize every individual’s health and welfare right now. We appreciate your understanding, though we recognize this is a disappointment.
