Paul Dankers
Paul Dankers is the Music Director for Aspen Choral Society and Snowmass Chapel. He received his undergraduate degree from UW-Eau Claire and Masters Degree from USM. He enjoys acting and directing various theatre productions throughout the Roaring Fork Valley and is currently a Henry Judge for the Colorado Theatre Guild. Paul is an occasional composer and arranger for his various ensembles. He loves mountain living in Basalt, CO with his husband of 7+ years, Michael Schoepe. It is a privilege to be in NY making music with so many talented musicians!

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.
