Without music, life would be a mistake ~~ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche









 


From its first season in 1976, The Lutheran Chorale has shared its love of music with the front range community, performing a rich variety of musical works, with a special emphasis on the abundant choral tradition of the Lutheran Heritage. Under the direction of conductor Wesley Broderius, the Chorale has performed major works by composers such as Bach, Handel, Brahms, and Verdi, as well as contemporary anthems, spirituals, secular pieces and motets.  


The Chorale numbers about 40 members and we are looking to grow.  More recently the Chorale has added friends and voices in collaboration with local area choirs and The Lakewood Symphony Orchestra. Performances include 6-8 major concerts each season as well as performing for special events such as fund-raisers, civic organizations, dedications, conventions, etc. The Chorale has sung the National Anthem at major sports stadiums. World tours have taken us to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Scandinavia, New Zealand, Australia, and the British Isles. A new tour is in the planning for June 2010 - a fjord cruise in Norway. We welcome our followers to join us on our trips!  Click here for tentative details.
