Our Story

Since its founding, the Summit Choral Society has presented a wide range of musical offerings, from sacred and classical choral music to Broadway hits, light opera to pop classics. . In 2000, the Summit Choral Society performed at the U.S. House of Representatives’ Christmas tree lighting The Summit Choral Society made its first appearance at Carnegie Hall in 1999, returning to that grand stage again in 2015. In 2019, the Choral Society was a featured choir Carnegie Hall, under the direction of Dr. Jill Schroeder-Dorn.  A series of dedicated and talented directors have helped develop the Summit Choral Society to the high performance standards applauded by audiences today.

For the past several years, Covid has impacted our ability to sing together and for an audience. We have adapted by distancing, mask-wearing, and open air performances. For a time, we were meeting only on-line, (most unsatisfactory!) but we are now joyfully back to singing in person, and are rebuilding the numbers and momentum we enjoyed prior to our forced hiatus.

We welcome our newest Artistic Director, Anna Ahrens, who comes to us from Ohio, via Boulder. She is a delightful, skilled, and energetic young woman, who will lead us toward vibrant and lucent music! We welcome singers, new and old!
