History

The San Diego Women’s Chorus was established in 1987 by Cynthia Lawrence-Wallace, a well-known community activist. That first group was made up of 14 members who rehearsed in Cynthia’s living room. We are proud that there are founding members still active singing members today!

Over the years women who love music and love giving to our community have volunteered to produce quality choral concerts that focus on the music of women and lesbian and gay composers and arrangers.

Here’s a list of the concerts that we have produced, we have also performed at numerous other community events.
