The Sons of Orpheus choir was founded in 1991 by the distinguished American tenor, Grayson Hirst. It is a not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-affiliated, community-based choral organization comprised of men from all walks of life. Members include professional and amateur musicians, businessmen, retirees, scientists, scholars, students, engineers, teachers, and others.

Sons of Orpheus provides an opportunity for men to sing selections from the rich repertoire written for men’s voices. It parallels such other Tucson groups as choruses for boys, girls, women, and mixed voices.

We’re already planning an exciting new season of music for 2009–2010!

Interested in joining the choir? You’re welcome to come check us out at a rehearsal. Right now we’re on a summer break, but we’'ll regroup in late August. Our regular rehearsals are on Wednesday evenings at the Tucson Arizona Boys Chorus Facility, 5770 E. Pima St., Tucson, AZ (click for map). Please e-mail us beforehand, using the address at the bottom of this page, or call Musical Director Grayson Hirst directly at 621-1649, to introduce yourself and be notified of any changes to our schedule.

Look here for our usual rehearsal times and locations.

For prospective members, a simple, informal “audition” is used to assess voice quality and section placement.
