About The Blackhawk Chorus

The Blackhawk Chorus began in 1991 with 12 women whose dedication to and fondness for music was exemplary. As word of the success of the group spread, the number of members continued to expand and in 1992, men were invited to participate.

We have a rich history of singing throughout the East Bay as well as around the world. In 2003, the Chorus represented the State of California in the American Music Festival in both Austria and the Czech Republic and this was followed by a trip touring Italy and an opportunity to sing at High Mass in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican in July, 2005. 2007 found the Chorus "on the road again" with a performing tour throughout England, Scotland and Wales. When possible, we look for opportunities to travel overseas on a semi-annual basis, and we are currently planning a trip to China to sing in some amazing venues in 2011.

Closer to home, we perform two series of shows each year; a Holiday Show in December of each year at multiple locations and a Spring Show, typically in May. We are fortunate in that we established a base of patrons that allows us to sell out our performances on a regular basis and after the "Standing Ovations" we strive to earn in each performance, we adjourn for the summer.

We sing, we learn, we travel, we play and most of all, we have fun.
