COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Getting out and exploring Colorado Springs and the surrounding area doesn't need to break the bank.
We're highlighting businesses, organizations, and happenings that you can engage with for under $40.00; the focus for this article (and outing) is Soli Deo Gloria Choir.
Founded in 1973, Soli Deo Gloria is a non-auditioned, community choir comprised of four ensembles, the largest of which can consist of 140 voices; the choir provides free concerts to folks across the Pikes Peak Region.
"There's a lot of diversity in music involved in Soli Deo Gloria Choir," stated Nathaniel Voelkner, artistic and executive director for the choir. "We do a lot of classical works, we also do a lot of music from all different time periods, a little bit of different genres, but it's all choral music, all about bringing people together and sharing in the experience of making song together."
The choir is dedicated to welcoming everyone who wants to sing, with their motto listed on their website as, "With every voice, we are one song."
