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.
