Aspen Choral Society is the combined talent of 100+ people of many ages, ability levels, and professions from throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. We are a non auditioned group that works hard to present high quality concerts - especially our signature annual "Messiah" performances in December. After 40 years, there is a definite “family” feel to what we do. More importantly, we nourish and give the gift of beautiful music to our friends and neighbors. You can find us on Facebook, YouTube, and our website, aspenchoralsociety.org.
