The Colorado College Choir, under the direction of Deborah Teske, is a 100-voice choir composed of students, faculty, staff, and members of the community. The Choir studies and performs works from the choral/orchestral literature, providing an opportunity for singers, regardless of background and training, to sing with a professional orchestra and to engage in shared music making with the broader CC and Colorado Springs Community. Everyone is welcome to join. There is no audition, but advance registration is required. To receive information about registration when it becomes available, email Deborah Teske dteske@coloradocollege.edu.

The choir presents one major concert each year, in the Fall semester, with orchestra in Shove Chapel.

Rehearsals are Mondays 4:00-5:30 p.m. During concert week, additional rehearsals with orchestra are called from 7:30-10:00 p.m.

Advance registration is required to participate.

Membership for singers from outside the CC community will be capped at 80. Space on the risers will not allow for more. Registration for community members will close on Wednesday, August 19, or when we reach the 80-singer limit, whichever comes first. You will have the option to be placed on a waiting list after the count reaches 80. There is often attrition very early in the semester.

Registration links will be live on August 4.
