Broomfield Council on the Arts & Humanities
ASTER Women's Chamber Choir is a small (18-20 voice) women's ensemble in Broomfield, which frequently performs at the Broomfield Auditorium and in other local locations. It is one of Broomfield's longest-running performance groups; thanks to its esteemed director, treasured singers, and dedicated
program donors.
ASTER is an open and affirming organization. We welcome women of all ages, ethnicities, religious, and sexual orientations. We have kept our members' dues to a minimum so that women of all economic backgrounds will be able to join. Additionally, ASTER is also supporting youth singers by providing hardworking vocalists the unique opportunity to train and perform with the Choir. As a continuing commitment to opening the door to choral development and participation, ASTER also provides financial assistance to women who cannot afford to purchase our concert attire and provides stipends to women who needed assistance to pay for childcare while they attended rehearsals.
The meaning of the name "ASTER" comes from The Meaning of Flowers in which Gretchen Scoble wrote: “Asters speak of the tiny beginnings from which all great things proceed.”

ASTER is taking a lighthearted turn with this concert. The mirth-filled music we have chosen will bring gentle smiles, belly laughs, giggles and guffaws.
Colorado composer Kari Kraakevik's new work "Quire in Qwerty - That Almost Sentient Mechanism" for choir, piano and amplified typewriter will be premiered and is guaranteed to make you think differently about the quick brown fox who jumps over the lazy dog! Selections by soloists from the choir include “Summer in Ohio”, “Whatever Happened to My Part”, “What a Movie”, “This Place is Mine”, and "All for the Best". Choral works include "I Sing, You Sing" by the Real Group, a setting of parlor game poems by Jane Austen and her Mother and "Would Like to Meet" which tells the tale of an energetic sea lion looking for love.
