"Beautiful music with friends — and a gift to the Longmont community."

A new kind of community choir

Saint Vrain Chorus is a newly formed auditioned choir serving the greater Longmont area. Like Pro Musica ensembles, we are dedicated to performing choral masterworks — Bach, Mozart, Lauridsen — at the highest level of artistry. Unlike a professional company, we are rooted in community: singers from all walks of life, coming together for the love of music.

Our inaugural performance will be with the Longmont Symphony Orchestra in their December 2026 Candlelight Concert. Our long-term vision is a vibrant 40–60 voice ensemble — a permanent home for serious choral singing in Longmont.

Rehearsals begin August 2026, held Thursday evenings twice monthly (90 min) at St. Stephen's Church, 470 Main Street, downtown Longmont.
