24|25 Season in Review

Thursday, June 1 2028

Phoenix Chorale 2024|25 Season kicked off October 13, 2024 with a 2-city Special event in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona with DURUFLÉ REQUIEM / MARTIN MASS FOR DOUBLE CHOIR. The Phoenix Chorale was joined by True Concord, the acclaimed Grammy-nominated professional choir from Tucson, to create a powerhouse of exquisite sound. The performance highlighted the new Fisk organ at Camelback Bible Church, a Silberman-style pipe organ that is being installed this fall at Camelback Bible Church which will be played by Dr Jeremy Filsell, Organist and Director of Music at St Thomas Church in Manhattan.

The Valley’s favorite, A CHORALE CHRISTMAS lit up the holidays December 14-17, 2024 with performances at Camelback Bible Church, Brophy Chapel, Trinity Episcopal Cathedral and a special appearance at the First United Methodist Church in Mesa. This concert series brought a mix of Christmas and holiday music from across the centuries, as well as a rousing audience sing a long to put everyone in the holiday spirit.

In the second collaboration of the 24/25 season, March 2025 featured a choral-orchestral collaboration with MusicaNova Orchestra for TALES OF LOVE AND MAJESTY. The regal and romantic performances featured the pomp and grandeur of Handel’s Coronation Anthems and Ode for the Birthday of Queen Anne, paired with a re-discovered Edwardian gem, a love story set in Imperial Japan by British composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, A Tale of Old Japan.  Both Christopher Gabbitas, Artistic Director of Phoenix Chorale and Warren Cohen, Founder and Music Director of MusicaNova Orchestra, conducted.

The Phoenix Chorale’ season concluded in May 2025 with a celebration of American excellence, reflected in AMERICAN VOICES: MUSIC FROM THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY where we welcomed back LA-based composer Jennifer Lucy Cook to Phoenix as we presented the world premiere of Vista Point, a brand-new choral work commissioned specially for Phoenix Chorale. The commission of Vista Point is generously underwritten by Mary Farrington-Lorch.
