After the past two years of what seemed, at times, like insurmountable obstacles, we've prevailed, prospered, and adapted to face the challenges of an ever-changing climate regarding public health, as well as the agency to be who and what we are. We, as voices of freedom, equity, and inclusion are present, vocal, and needed now as much as ever to ensure that our community, our country, and our world will be more inclusive for us and future generations. There is work to be done, and songs to be sung to celebrate our solidarity, so let's get to it! Scott Zimmerman, DV BOD President

OUR MISSION
"Fostering Community Through Song"
Desert Voices is Tucson's premier gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and ally chorus. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing Arizona beautiful music and to forging a positive and resolute LGBTQA presence in the community. Our unique chorus welcomes all voices to attend our rehearsals and come to our performances, regardless of age, gender, race, creed, or sexuality. Our members are diverse in voice and in background, of gay and straight singers, of all ages and identities. We strive to bring quality, unique music performances and the harmony of community to Tucson. Our purpose is to give a voice to those whose songs go unheard.
OUR VISION
Desert Voices is an inclusive chorus organized to provide the opportunity for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and supportive others to sing together in order to:
- Build community within and outside the Chorus through our love of music.
- Produce shows that are entertaining and musically excellent.
- Perform music that reflects the lives of the LGBTQA community.
- Promote an ongoing, positive LGBTQA presence in our community.
- Advance positive social change in the larger society.
