To broaden the greater community’s understanding of Pagan beliefs and influences through innovative choral experiences.
Orpheus Pagan Chamber Choir was founded in 2009 to celebrate the many earth-based spiritual traditions through song. Beginning with 15 singers, the choir’s first performance was at the 2010 Beltania Festival in Colorado. Its first official season featured three concerts: a sold-out 12th Night Yule Concert and Viking Feast, a spring concert, and a second Beltania performance.
Orpheus soon expanded its concert season with a Rite of Remembrance and a Friends and Family Concert. Additional concerts in 2018-2019 included one at the Denver Public Library, as well as being presented on the Westside Live Presents concert series in Golden, CO.
From its humble beginnings in a beautiful backyard, the Orpeus MeadFest has become the premiere showcase for Colorado’s burgeoning mead industry. The Orpheus MeadFest Competition has grown into one of the largest mead competitions in the country, attracting competitors from around the world.
EVENTS (2026-27 SEASON)
Rite of Remembrance
Our candle-lit Rite of Remembrance resonates with themes of love, loss, and consolation. Encroaching darkness and reverent silence move us between the worlds as we honor those who are no longer with us yet remain in our hearts.
Join us in weaving a tapestry of remembrance with the words of Wendell Berry, Starhawk, and Amanda Gorman, and the transcendent music of Robert S. Cohen, Elaine Hagenberg, Mark Sirett, and many more.
