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.”

Broomfield Auditorium
Admission: Adults $23, Students/Seniors $18

ASTER’s fall concert features choral settings of favorites by Carla Bonoff, Carole King, CSNY, Joni Mitchell, Dolly Parton, Christina Perri, Taylor Swift, and Stevie Wonder.

We are especially excited to introduce three of our own singer-songwriters to our audience. Sara Giita Flores, Sara Love and Meghan Rodwell will perform original songs. They were inspired by seasons and seasoning, rainbows and blues and playing in a windy world.

Singer-songwriters date back to the days of the troubadours of the Middle Ages singing of courtly love and chivalry as they travelled from town to town living as composers in residence when favored by a particular court.

The word “troubadour” is derived from the verb trobar, which means “to find” or “to invent”. Their original poems told personal stories, just like the singer-songwriters from the 1960s.
