About The Blackhawk Chorus
The Blackhawk Chorus was founded in 1991, thus 2011 represents our 20th year of performing throughout the Bay Area and around the globe. Comprised of 140 talented men and women and directed by Diane Gilfether, a critically acclaimed performer and classical singer, the Chorus has performed in Rome, Florence, Vienna, Salzburg, Prague, London, Scotland, Wales and at Avery Fisher Hall at New York’s Lincoln Center. The Chorus performs two concert series annually; a Spring Concert Series that features the music of Broadway and tributes to great performers of the past, and a Holiday Concert Series showcasing songs of the season.

Our Audience
The Chorus has developed a following of regular patrons that allows us to routinely sellout our concerts and enjoy the thrill of a Standing Ovation as the curtain descends. Our program selections draw families, retirees, students of all ages as well as sophisticated patrons of the art of music. We perform to an audience of over 5,000 on an annual basis.

Venues
Our regional venues include the Dean Lesher Center in Walnut Creek, the Dougherty Valley Performing Arts Center in San Ramon, Bankhead Theatre at the Livermore Performing Arts Center, Temple Hill in Oakland and the Blackhawk Country Club. The Chorus also performs at local Retirement Homes and facilities as a part of its contribution back to the community and the public.
