The Renaissance Project is a chorus that specializes primarily in Renaissance motets and also performs other Renaissance pieces and a cappella music of similar aesthetic. There are many unique features to The Renaissance Project. We rehearse without accompaniment and we often sing in the round in mixed formation with the result that each member of the group feels more like a soloist and is more aware of their relationship to the other parts. Members of the group give presentations on historical information to the group, and contribute their scholarly expertise to the rehearsals. In short, although The Renaissance Project is a conducted ensemble, there is a high amount of member participation. Membership in the group includes amateur singers from Boulder and other surrounding cities (including Golden, Aurora, Denver, and Westminster). The group also offers fellowships to four "singing fellows" drawn from the voice and choral music departments at the University of Colorado. Arthur Bragg started The Renaissance Project in the summer of 2007 to meet the needs of Boulder-area choral singers who wanted to sing in a smaller group without orchestra during the summer months. The first summer session was so successful that the group now sings year-round. In September 2009 The Renaissnance Project was awarded its first grant - an Addison Mini-Grant obtained through the Boulder County Arts Alliance. In November 2009 the group acquired non-profit status through the Boulder Count Arts Alliance. If you'd like to be on our mailing list, enter your address on the form on the lower left of the page.
