Chorus

The Colorado Symphony’s 2024/25 Season marks the 41^st year of the Colorado Symphony Chorus. Founded in 1984 by Duain Wolfe, our chorus has earned a reputation as one of the finest symphonic choruses in the United States. This outstanding chorus of volunteers joins the Colorado Symphony for numerous performances each year, to repeated critical acclaim.

Under the direction of the Colorado Symphony’s Principal Conductor Peter Oundjian, Resident Conductor Christopher Dragon, Chorus Director Duain Wolfe, Associate Chorus Directors Mary Louise Burke and Taylor Martin, and guest conductors from around the world, the Chorus performs the great Masterworks, as well as pops concerts, movies, and special projects.

Additionally, the Chorus has been featured annually at the Bravo!Vail Music Festival, performing with the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra or Dallas Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of notable conductors Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Jaap van Zweden, Alan Gilbert, Fabio Luisi, Hans Graf, as well as 25 years with the Aspen Music Festival.

In 2009, in celebration of the 25^th anniversary of the Chorus, Duain Wolfe conducted the chorus on a 3-country, 2-week concert tour of Europe, presenting the Verdi REQUIEM in Budapest, Vienna, Litomysl, and Prague; in 2016 the chorus returned to Europe for concerts in Paris, Strasbourg, and Munich. In the summer of 2022, the Chorus toured Austria, performing to great acclaim in Vienna, Graz and Salzburg.
