Everyday people in the Greeley Chorale have been producing amazing music in Greeley, Colorado and around the world since 1964. The Chorale is community-centered, with formal concerts, singing for special events, and supporting the Greeley Children's Chorale and other young musicians.
"In choral music we are afforded the opportunity to revel in what are often poignant and uplifting texts. I have always "hung my hat" on the wedding of great music and great texts, and they have never failed me:" Dr. Galen Darrough, Chorale conductor.
"I have heard choral groups from around the world, and none have been better than the Greeley Chorale." Concert attendee.
The mission of the Greeley Chorale is to provide for, encourage, and support quality choral music for the enjoyment, cultural enrichment, and education of the community.
The Greeley Chorale originated in 1964 as a community chorus, Six years later, in 1970, the Chorale merged with the Greeley Concerts Association as an adjunct of the Greeley Philharmonic Orchestra. In 1974 it became an independent community choir, and in 1978 the Chorale was incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Over the years the Chorale has grown from a 40 voice ensemble in 1964 to more than 90 voices today. The Chorale has garnered a reputation as one of the finest community choruses in the United States as evidenced by an invitation to perform at the "88 World Expo in Brisbane Australia. The Chorale has also performed in China, Europe, Ireland, and England.
