Founded in 1939, the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus has earned the reputation as a premiere music education and performance organization of both classic boychoir repertoire as well as representing the diversity of the American Southwest.

Musicianship and citizenship in a professional atmosphere are the cornerstones of the program. The Chorus has garnered accolades through performances at the White House, Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, the Beijing Institute of Culture, Russian Glinka Cappella, Sydney Opera House, St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Tabernacle in Salt Lake City with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

Celebrating its 67th anniversary season, the boy choristers from Tucson participate in one of America’s longest lasting community choir programs. It is composed of 150 boys between the ages of eight and fourteen in three different ensembles. The Chorus has received international acclaim through concert tours, national television appearances, and numerous recordings, as well as collaborations with major symphony orchestras and opera companies. Appearances at national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association and the Music Educators National Conference have validated the choir’s musical excellence.

The Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus is dedicated to providing boys an enriched educational experience through the study and performance of choral music and in the pursuit of the highest artistic quality. The Chorus endeavors to impart musical, social, and leadership skills that build self-esteem and have a sustaining impact on its members. Representing and serving the community as an artistic and cultural resource is also fundamental to the Chorus mission.
