In the realm of rodeo, certain names etch themselves into the annals of history, embodying the spirit of grit, skill, and dedication. Lawton Champie stands as a towering figure among these legends, revered for his astounding achievements and unwavering passion for the sport. As the 2024 honoree of the Prescott Frontier Days®, Inc – World’s Oldest Rodeo®, Lawton’s legacy continues to resonate profoundly.

Founded in 2016, the Prescott Chorale comprises 50 members ranging in age from 30 to 85. Conductor Dennis Houser leads the group, which performs sings classical music, often with an orchestra and soloists, for around 1,500 folks each year.

The Prescott Chorale started as a group of 10 singers including Dennis and his wife, Kay. Searching for a space with good acoustics and more flexibility for their performances, they left the Yavapai College Performing Arts Center and formed their own group. Their relationship with the St. Luke’s community, where Dennis and his wife are the music staff, allowed them to secure a stage for their performances.

The dream of an Interfaith choir carried with me when we moved to Prescott four years ago when Patty was called to be the minister at Granite Peak Unitarian Universalist Congregation. I called for an Interfaith choir and named it the Quad-City Interfaith Choir. We met once in March 2020 and then a week later we had to stop meeting due to COVID. My dream and desire didn’t fade, and last year I decided it was time to get a choir going again. I called the Prescott Latter-Day Saints music director, Juli Dalton, and we spent many hours talking about how we could gather singers from several congregations around Prescott.  We partnered with Kellie Walker Hart, music director at Trinity Presbyterian Church and Rabbi Susan Schanerman from Temple B’rith Shalom and invited singers to join us for our first rehearsal last January.

Una Voca Women’s Choir “highlights many individual voices and personalities, and through music, we come together to share our music as one voice,” said Arlene Hardy, Founder and Artistic Director.
