Background Statement
Founded in 1977 by Elizabeth Elliott and fellow visionaries, the Larimer Chorale began as a community chorus open to all and soon evolved into an auditioned ensemble dedicated to musical excellence. Under the direction of Michael Todd Krueger since 2004, the Chorale has grown in artistry and scope, becoming one of Colorado’s most accomplished and respected choral organizations.
With approximately 120 members, the Chorale includes smaller ensembles that bring diverse musical experiences to audiences. The touring Chamber Choir has performed in historic venues across Europe — from Venice and Paris to Prague and Vienna — and continues to represent Northern Colorado on the international stage.
Closer to home, the Chorale’s Dickens Carolers delight audiences each holiday season, while the Silvertones, founded in 2012, provide nearly 150 seniors each week with the joy, community, and health benefits of singing together.
Now approaching its 50th year, the Larimer Chorale proudly fulfills its mission to enrich and educate singers and audiences through exceptional choral performances and community engagement.
