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.
"I love surrounding myself with like-minded musicians, making connections and friends and, of course, making music!"
"I think singers in general need to sing at least once a week for their mental health—you can forget all your worries and concentrate on the music and feel good about your contribution to the group."
"Making music in this capacity is such a crucial way to release stress while providing a group of friends who is passionate for the arts just as I am. I have never gone without singing in a choir for a single year since the eighth grade!"
"It is one of the important ways I am a part of creating something beautiful. I love the challenge and the sense of community I get from being part of this group, and wonderful friendships."
"I'm a professional musician and choral director who needs the opportunity to just make music with a like-minded family of musician friends, and the Chorale is my home for that opportunity. I sing with the group to be enriched and rejuvenated by the art of social singing and to learn new repertoire with great people!"
"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.
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.
The Chorale has sponsored vocal competitions and awards an annual choral conducting scholarship.
