Our History
Founded in 1990, the Payson Choral Society began as a small group of dedicated choral musicians interested in singing together, as well as providing entertainment to the local community. The Society performs two concerts each year: one during the spring and one during Christmas.
To date, more than $47,000 has been awarded in scholarships to middle school and high school students from the Payson area. Furthermore, the Society has provided monetary support to the Gila County Community Program, the Gila Foundation for Higher Education, the Payson Children's Choir, the Payson Unified School District and the Tonto Community Concert Association. Our ultimate goal is to encourage and support students studying vocal music, as well as to promote music education in our community as a whole.
