In the 21st Century, the Baltic region of Northern Europe has become one of the most exciting new resources for choral musicians. The cultural heritage of singing in the region is millenia old and serves an important function as the entire history of the region in encoded in song. Despite its growing popularity in the United States and its cultural importance, the vast majority of this repertoire remains unknown and inaccessible to American choral scholars.
(Dr. Geoffrey Boers, University of Washington) ).
John Cleveland 1947 – 2023

Why I'm a Member of the Arizona Masterworks Chorale
Judith Durocher, Soprano
It’s important for me personally to be a member of AMC because I want to be part of a choir that is performing quality literature with attention to musical detail. Convenient location and time of rehearsal is a bonus! I think AMC’s impact on the greater Phoenix community is evident in our winter concert with the Phoenix Women's Orchestra and the children's choir. Collaborative efforts that are mutually beneficial are a hallmark of building community.
Eleanor Baker, Soprano
It’s important for me personally to be a member of AMC because I have the opportunity to learn collegiate level music from a wonderful director and a group of talented and experienced singers. As a musician in high school and 4th year member of AMC, I have been able to learn so much. I was introduced to beautiful new music, including world-premieres, and shown how a professional choir sings and learns together. This has been a great outlet and resource for me and a place where I have discovered my passion: teaching music.
Taz Monroe, Alto
It's important personally for me to be a member of AMC because I feel as though I am getting the opportunity to share the art that drives me with people who it also motivates. Music is something that transcends language barriers and conflict, and I take great joy in being part of that.
I think AMCs impact on the greater Phoenix area is that we're exposing a lot more people to music that they may fall in love with and realize is more accessible to them.
Our 2022-2023 Season Fundraising Campaign

Our “Make Music Better” campaign asks you to support the continued growth of the Arizona Masterworks Chorale.
Making music better means investing in the future. For AMC, that means having a top-quality music staff and growing our artistry, performing innovative repertoire, and doing educational outreach. With your help, we can make that happen.
Our mission is to serve our community by performing the finest choral music, and we’re on track to succeed. AMC audiences experience the sheer beauty of sound and poetry in our ensemble – it’s like hearing the unity of instruments in a symphony orchestra.
In December 2022, we performed the world premiere of an AMC-commissioned work for adult and youth choirs. We’ll have premieres of classical and contemporary pieces in March and May 2023. We’re growing our roster of skilled choristers and collaborating with youth choirs in our partner schools.
As you plan your charitable giving at year-end, please consider a generous donation to support AMC’s mission. You can also visit our website to learn about advertising and sponsorship opportunities. You make keeping our unique voice heard in the Arizona cultural scene, and we thank you for your ongoing support.
