Although Scottsdale is our chorus home, our members are from all over the state of Arizona.  All ages from teens to eighties and a wide variety of backgrounds and lifestyles are represented among our membership.  Each of us share a bond through the love of music, performance and competition.

Scottsdale Chorus is under the direction of the amazing Lori Lyford. Within a few short months as the Director (in her FIRST appearance on the International Competition stage!) she led the Scottsdale Chorus to a 3rd Place win. Today she is one of the most sought-after coaches in the barbershop genre, conducting training seminars and coaching sessions throughout the United States and abroad. Whether playing a boomwhacker or performing a solo in a tender ballad, Lori is the ultimate performer.  She is the driving force behind the success of the Scottsdale Chorus.
