Arizona Women in Tune

Mission Statement

THE Mission of Arizona Women in Tune is to increase lesbian visibility, to celebrate the accomplishments of women in music, and to passionately pursue artistic excellence.

Lesbian Visibility - Seventeen years ago we began to defy the greater Phoenix community by performing as an out lesbian organization. We continue that challenge today. Historically, the visibility of the female artist is rare; the visibility of the lesbian artist is virtually nonexistent. One of our primary goals it to spotlight those individuals.

Women in Music - We celebrate women in music in several ways: by performing works by women composers and arrangers or works whose text is written by female authors and poets; providing opportunities for local women performing artists to join us in our concerts to showcase their work and talent; and finally, the act of taking the stage as Arizona Women in Tune honors the work that each of our singers does as a choral musician.

Artistic Excellence- We strive to honor women in music and the gift of music through our pursuit of artistic excellence. We present powerful women-centered performances that bring a strong and vibrant lesbian voice to the Arizona arts community.
