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 29th season in 2026 – 2027, 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.

Welcome our 2026 – 2027 Conducting Intern, Hannah Black!
We are thrilled to welcome Hannah Black as our conducting intern for the 2026-2027 season.
Hannah Black is a music educator and conductor from San Jose, California. Coming from a musical family, she has been singing in choir since the age of five and playing piano since the age of seven. She holds a degree in music education from California State University, Fullerton, and currently teaches choir, piano, and musical theatre at South El Monte High School, where she enjoys helping students build confidence and connect meaningfully with music. She has performed with a variety of vocal ensembles, including CSUF University Singers and is a current member of Pacific Chorale.
Hannah’s background as a pianist continues to inform her musicianship and teaching approach. As a conducting intern, she is excited to grow her skills in ensemble leadership and rehearsal technique and connect with this vibrant choral community.
Outside of music, Hannah enjoys spending time camping, hiking, and going anywhere outdoors with her partner, Alex. She also loves exploring new coffee shops and spending time with her two cats, Lula and Zuzu.
