The Phoenix Symphony Chorus is the professional-level performing partner of The Phoenix Symphony and is an organization independent of Ottawa University. The Phoenix Symphony Chorus is featured in numerous Phoenix Symphony concerts each year ranging from classical masterworks to pops and holiday music. The schedule of performances is set by the Phoenix Symphony. Concerts are usually at Phoenix Symphony Hall in central Phoenix, but are also given at other venues throughout Phoenix and Arizona. Periodically, the Chorus will perform in such places as New York City or in Europe. Membership is reserved for musicians with previous choral experience who display advanced vocal performance and musical reading skills. This course is ideal for music teachers and other professionals who need advanced credits or continuing education as part of their employment but can be taken by any member of the Symphony Chorus.
