Conversations with Dr. Vicki Burrichter- Interview by Voyage Denver January 2024
“….Since 2015, I have been Artistic Director of the Boulder Chorale’s Concert Chorale and Chamber Chorale. Besides the standard Western oratorios for the chorus and orchestra of Bach, Mozart, and Brahams, we do innovative diversity programs not usually done by Western choirs; for example, Arabic and Hindustani music, as well as Brazilian, Cuban, and myriad others. We had a fabulous time touring Duke Ellington’s “Sacred Concerts,” to the Netherlands, with guests Adam Waite, Joslyn Ford-Keel, David Sharpe (tap dancer!), and three Grammy-nominated musicians….” Read more Here! 

FROM A FIRST TIME AUDIENCE MEMBER – December 2022
“It was so wonderful to be present at the Celtic Winter Concert on Sunday!! I had never heard the Boulder Chorale and was so thrilled by the imaginative choice of music and the genuine sense of welcome for the entire audience. I was so impressed by how the Piccolini choir seemed to love not just singing, but singing from their hearts and really projected their voices – how do such little ones do that?? I sat with strangers who welcomed me and were connected to the choir through children or past performances. I came on my own because my daughter was the fiddle player and I don’t often get to hear her performing. Then I was treated to this special, special concert that was so polished with pieces in both Scottish and Irish Gaelic and wonderful harmonies. That concert was the beginning of my Christmas celebrations. Thank you for such a heartwarming evening!!”

FROM AN AUDIENCE MEMBER – November 2022
“No words can express my appreciation to you and the Boulder Chorale for a wonderful afternoon full of joyful memories and wonderful music/singing. Yesterday was a day I will always remember for the rest of my life. SIdi Mansour took me back home to my beloved City “Sfax”. El-Helwa Di  was a very popular song among our handball team players. It was requested on every road trip to an out of town  game!  In other words, I had a childhood memory with every song:) I loved it! THANK YOU!”
