Who We Are
The Greeley Chorale is a community choral organization of approximately 90 auditioned, dedicated singers, from all walks of life, primarily from Weld, Larimer and Boulder Counties in Northern Colorado and surrounding areas.
Renowned on four continents for their musical excellence, the Greeley Chorale is proud to call Northern Colorado and Greeley in particular, HOME. Audiences enjoy a wide-ranging musical repertoire, from choral classics such as Mozart'sRequiem, Bernstein'sChichester Psalmsand Orff'sCarmina Burana, to American folk songs, Broadway, and opera performed. Now in its 47th concert season, the Chorale continues its mission to promote quality choral music both at home and around the world, most recently with a 2009 concert tour to Greece and Turkey.
The Chorale is governed by a volunteer community Board of Directors (the Board), an Administrative Committee consisting of members from within the singing membership, and a Music Director. The Board, the Chorale's Administrative Staff and the Music Director communicate openly and cooperate fully in meeting the mission and objectives of the Chorale. The Music Director, Administrator and Marketing Director are ad-hoc members of the Board.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Chorale is to provide for, encourage, and support quality choral music for the enjoyment, cultural enrichment, and education of the community, including its youth, and to further the talents and musical growth of its individual members.
Objectives & Performances
The Chorale's mission is carried forward through a subscription series of concerts in Monfort Concert Hall at the Union Colony Civic Center, 701 10th Avenue, Greeley, and various local church venues.
The Chorale may perform in association with other choral groups and travels occasionally within the United States and abroad to provide excellence in choral music, provide extraordinary performance opportunities for its members, and gain further exposure for the talents of the Greeley Chorale.
