Who is NVC?
The North Valley Chorale is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to the cultural, musical, and social enrichment of metropolitan Phoenix and its surrounding communities. Founded in 2008, NVC now boasts over 60 members, ages 18 to 85, led by Artistic Director Eleanor Johnson and supported by an energetic and distinguished Board of Directors.
We serve all segments of our community by providing affordable and accessible performances of choral music from many traditions, eras, and cultures — classical to pop, Broadway, patriotic, and sacred. The NVC actively seeks, recruits, and integrates a diverse and committed set of vocal talent into its membership.
Each year we perform three main concerts at varied venues throughout the Valley, alongside several outreach performances bringing music to seniors, memory-care residents, and people who can’t come to a concert hall. That second calling — singing for the people who need it most — is why we call ourselves the choir that cares.
