Welcome to the Arizona Masterworks Chorale
website!
It is an honor for singers from Arizona to be participating in
the wonderful celebration of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 250th birthday!
In May 2006, the Arizona Masterworks Chorale is taking a magnificent
trip to Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. The Chorale
and friends from the Arizona Opera Choristers, the Korean Ensemble
and Phoenix Symphony Chorus, along with a quartet of soloists from
the United States, will perform jointly.
We leave the States on May 21, 2006 for Krakow (Poland) to rehearse
and perform on May 23 under the baton of Masterworks' Director,
Mary Ann Dutton. Then, we travel to Prague (Czech Republic) to rehearse
with The South Bohemian Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra for performances
in Prague on May 26, Ceske Budejovice (Czech Republic) on May 27
and Vienna (Austria) on May 30. Guest conductor, Maestro John Massaro,
will conduct the concerts with orchestra. On May 28 we'll leave
Ceske Budejovice for Budapest (Hungary) to enjoy a day "as
tourists" before the final concert in Vienna (Austria) on May
30. We will return to the States on May 31.
The Chorale has delighted audiences throughout Arizona and the
United States, as well as in Mexico, Austria, Germany, the Czech
Republic, England, Finland and Spain. Three times the Chorale has
performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City, including the performance
commemorating the 100th anniversary of Carnegie Hall. The Chorale
was proud to represent the State of Arizona at the Dedication of
the World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. in May 2004.
