The CU Alumni Choir
Dr. Donna Bogard, director
In 1987, Dr. Bogard founded the CU Alumni Choir, a monumental effort to bring together alumni from all campuses of the University of Colorado in a volunteer public performance group of music and song. She has directed the Choir since its founding. The choir is based at UC Denver. Performing on numerous occasions each year, Dr. Bogard has provided the CU Alumni Choir with a rich and diverse musical heritage. Energizing and diverse performances have included the music of Cole Porter, George Gershwin, music of South Africa, early American music from Shaker, Moravian and African-American traditions, music in the White House, Dixieland Jazz, Songs of the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. And, of course, the numerous concerts of Christmas holiday music.
The CU-Alumni Choir , has performed in many concerts and university events. Its members
include students from the Auraria campus as well as alumni from various
professions and musical experiences. The choir sings contemporary as well as classical music
for a variety of audiences often sharing their program with other university,
civic and church-related musical groups such as the The Tarnished Brass,
the UCD Flute Ensemble, the Jefferson Symphony Orchestra, and Voices
Unlimited. In addition to holiday performances, concerts have focused
on central themes such as, "Celebration
Constitution", "Irving Berlin - a 100th Birthday Celebration", "Choral Music
by Afro-American Women Composers", "Shaker Music in Colonial America", "Civil
War Music and WW II Songs" and "A Concert of Flute and Choral Music".
