Our Mission

The Women's Chorus of Dallas promotes the strength, diversity, and empowerment of women by performing high quality music to entertain, inspire, and serve the community.

Our Vision

To be a recognized choral group providing musical excellence and contributing positively to the community through entertainment and the support of women's causes.

United in our mission to embrace diversity, empower women, and increase in number, we will be an integral part of the community to inspire the souls, touch the hearts, and impact the lives of all who come to hear us.

TWCD means . . .

. . . being empowered by women from all walks of life! The music we make together affirms that there is strength in vulnerability, power in the female experience.

- Chelle, Alto 1

. . . being a part of something I love. It is humbling to be part of such a talented group of ladies who are so welcoming and inviting.

- Stormy, Alto 1

. . . Confidence, Camaraderie and Time. We meet, inspire, sometimes console each other. The singing - alone, together, or in concert - brings an inner joy I can't describe.

- Carrie, Alto 1
