The Royal Renaissance Singers – Now a Part of ProMusica Arizona!

If you like your history lessons with a side of music and fun, consider hiring the Royal Renaissance Singers for your next special event!

Founded in 1978, the Royal Renaissance Singers have delighted audiences for over 40 years with their unique blend of a capella music and merriment. Garbed in period costumes, these accomplished professional singers deliver motets, madrigals, and other Elizabethan-era pieces with wit and style. For an extra fee, they can even deliver a royal feast, complete with “lackeys” to serve your table. They are also available for classroom presentations, describing and demonstrating the Renaissance period’s music, artists, and customs. At Christmas time they can help you celebrate as you would have in Merrie Olde England, against a background of exquisite tapestries, with a toast from the Wassail Bowle and beautifully dressed singers a caroling – an experience not to be missed!

Pop, Swing, and Caroling!

December 9, 2024

Have you met our Women in Song? They are ProMusica Arizona’s stellar 16-voice female ensemble, and this year they gave a free Christmas concert at the main Glendale Public Library. It was a scintillating journey through the history of carols, from early pieces to pop and swing. Our talented pianist, Jeff Yoder, added to the festive spirit. An evening of pure musical joy; no ticket necessary!

It’s a Circus!

October 19 and 20, 2024 

Step right up for It’s a Circus!—a musical extravaganza where the magic of the big top came to life! Lions, Tiggers, and Bears, oh my! The audiences were enchanted by circus-themed favorites and delightful Disney tunes, including “The Bare Necessities,” “The Wonderful Thing About Tiggers,” and “Hakuna Matata.” With showstoppers like “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman and Henry Mancini’s playful “The Baby Elephant Walk,” this concert was a whimsical journey through music that left concertgoers smiling from ear to ear. A one-of-a-kind musical adventure!

In addition, ProMusica Arizona presented A World Without Boundaries by Timothy Powell with texts by American astronauts. The piece was commissioned for ProMusica Arizona’s 15th anniversary season. Morten Lauridsen’s “Sure on This Shining Night,” Ola Gjielo’s “Sunrise” (“Gloria”) from Sunrise Mass, and other musical gems were featured to round out the festivities.
