A listing of Boulder-area choral events.

Former Artistic Directors of the Boulder Chorale
 

In 1965, Hollyn Conant, director of the Civic Opera Workshop, and Jim Horn, director of the Civic Opera Chorus, were at a meeting when it was suggested by Joe Martin, also of the Civic Opera, that there was a need to have an ongoing chorus. This was the beginning of the Boulder Chorale.
