Orpheus Male Chorus of Phoenix

The group has continuously performed at least two concerts each season for the past seventy five years making it the longest continuously performing arts group in the state of Arizona. The success of the choir lies in the deep felt passion for music found in the hearts of the men as well as in the enthusiastic response they have received from their audiences.
