The Orange County Women’s Chorus
The Orange County Women’s Chorus is an ensemble of more than 50 singing women representing more than 20 communities in Orange County as well as Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties. Our repertoire spans many eras and cultures, and ranges from the serious to the silly, but our commitment to performing quality music at the highest level never changes. We’ve been “causing treble” in Orange County since 1997, and as we return to live performances for the first time since March 2020, we are more excited than ever to bring our music to the community. The chorus was named an “Outstanding Arts Organization” by Arts Orange County in 2014, and was a prizewinner at the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales in 2015. The Orange County Women’s Chorus will make our Carnegie Hall debut in June 2022 singing Franz Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass under the baton of Artistic Director, Eliza Rubenstein.
