Founded in Houston in 2006, Divas World Productions was inspired by our deep passion for music and our goal to recreate the European Salon style of performance.

Characterized by a unique intimacy, Divas World artists engage audiences with a variety of music, thought-provoking conversations and inter-disciplinary performances – all of which create a deeply rewarding experience that mutually inspires performers and audiences alike.

Our talented artists have expertise in a wide range of genres from singing and songwriting to composition and arrangement. With a variety of musical instruments, Divas World creates beautiful music for each of our concert series and recordings. Themes range from our revival of nineteenth century European Song Salons to Cabaret to Passionate Pop and to the cornerstone of American music in Just Jazz.

Beyond our extensive series of concerts, Divas contributes to the community by engaging local artists, providing scholarships for young musicians and supporting other local non-profit and charitable organizations.

Music with meaning and altruistic intent is what drives us at Divas World Productions.
