Watch our new video!

Every few years, we ask our dear friend and colleague Nathan Staph to try to capture who we are on video. It’s an impossible task—to try to distill our history and our essence and our musical family into three minutes—but every time, he gets it exactly right. We’re thrilled to share with you our newest video, which we think does a pretty great job of summing up the spirit of adventure and the soul of community that make us who we are. We hope you enjoy!

The Orange County Women’s Chorus

The Orange County Women’s Chorus is an ensemble of more than 60 singing women representing more than 23 communities in Orange County, plus Los Angeles, San Diego, and Riverside 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 celebrate our 28th season in 2025 – 2026, we are more excited than ever to bring our music to the community. The Orange County Women’s Chorus made our Carnegie Hall debut on June 27, 2022 with a spotlight performance followed by Franz Joseph Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass under the baton of Artistic Director, Eliza Rubenstein. We were named an “Outstanding Arts Organization” by Arts Orange County in 2014, and were a prizewinner at the International Musical Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales in 2015. We have toured internationally three times, most recently to Croatia in June 2024.

Another successful Glass of Cabaret fundraiser!

There’s nothing we love more than spending a Sunday afternoon sharing dreamy music and great refreshments with our OCWC family! On February, 23 2025 we enjoyed such an afternoon at our annual “A Glass of Cabaret: Dare to Dream” fundraiser.

Thanks to ticket sales, auction participation, and donations, we exceeded our fundraising goals! Not only did our patrons’ generous support help us achieve our mission, but we also donated over $1,500 to the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, which offers emergency grants to artists affected by the recent fires. Above all else, we appreciate our patrons being a vital part of this special community that values the arts in Orange County.
