The Forest-Aires Women’s Chorus is a nonprofit organization, using monies earned from performances to fund voice scholarships for local high school students.
The Forest-Aires Women’s Chorus is dedicated to providing students in our community with an enriched educational experience through the study and performance of choral music.
The chorus endeavors to pass on musical, social and leadership skills that build self-esteem and have a sustaining impact on its members and the community. Representing and serving the community as an artistic and cultural resource are fundamental to the Chorus’ mission.
