The multiple Grammy Award-winning Phoenix
Chorale, based in Arizona, is regarded as one of
North America’s leading professional choirs.
Founded in 1958, the Chorale’s current mission is
to nurture and amplify the strength and resonance
of Arizona’s choral artistry. All professional artists
who sing in the Chorale live in the State, many
of whom teach voice and direct music activities
in Phoenix metro-area schools and community
colleges and have studied in the State’s strong
collegiate choral programs.
Phoenix Chorale typically presents four concert
experiences each season between October
and May in the Phoenix Metro Area, with
musical works spanning five centuries including
composers, poets and lyricists from across the
globe and representing creative artists of all
genders, creeds and colours. The music and
words we share aim to resonate personally in
some way within each listener, whether they
join us live in the room or through our recordings
and videos.
The Chorale has a strong history of recording,
releasing a seminal album celebrating the work of
former composer-in-residence Ola Gjeilo as well as
recordings focusing on Rheinberger, Rachmaninov
and Grechaninov.
Since 2019, Phoenix Chorale has been artistically
led by Christopher Gabbitas, Artist Professor at
the University of Redlands and formerly of The
King’s Singers.
