Ars Nova Singers

Mission 

Our mission is to delight, inspire, and enlighten audiences with choral music of the highest artistic quality. Your generous support will allow us to continue presenting some of the most exceptional, exciting, and innovative music performances in Colorado. 

What Your Support Makes Possible

Our 2026 Focus: New Music and Young Singers

Your gift, doubled! This Colorado Gives Day, a generous anonymous donor has pledged $15,000 to match gifts to Ars Nova Singers, dollar for dollar. Every gift is doubled until the match is met: your $100 becomes $200, and your $500 becomes $1,000. This is a chance to do more, not to give less. With everyone's help, we can raise $30,000 from our community, and with the match, Ars Nova receives $45,000, triple what we raised last year.

Early giving opens November 1, and the match starts with the very first gift, so the sooner you give, the sooner your gift is doubled. Every gift made between November 1 and Colorado Gives Day, Tuesday, December 8, also increases Ars Nova's share of the Colorado Gives Incentive Fund. Ticket sales cover only part of what it takes to make this music happen, and your gift fills the gap.

For 41 seasons, Ars Nova Singers has brought choral music of the highest artistic quality to Colorado, from Renaissance masterworks to music written just for us. Our work goes well beyond the concert stage:

• Colorado Composer Competitions inspire new music from composers as young as third grade.
• Our High School Apprenticeship Program gives young singers the chance to perform alongside professionals.

This season, called Confluence, brings remarkable guest artists to our stage, including Nicolò Spera, Gavin Kitchen, MinTze Wu, and Marques L.A. Garrett.

Give through a singer. Many of our singers have their own fundraising pages this year. Every gift on a singer's page goes directly to Ars Nova Singers.
