Magnum Chorum

Magnum Chorum brings transforming artistry and spirit to a cappella choral music.  Under the direction of Christopher Aspaas, the 50-voice chamber choir presents a concert season, commissions new sacred works, and provides music for worship.  Founded in the tradition of St. Olaf College in 1991, the choir features classically-trained singers of all backgrounds devoted to excellence in sacred choral music.  Magnum Chorum has performed with distinguished conductors including Anton Armstrong, Kenneth Jennings, Dale Warland, Philip Brunelle, and Osmo Vänskä.  The ensemble serves as Choir in Residence at Westwood Lutheran Church, and its six recordings are broadcast in the U.S. and Canada.

In addition to serving as Artistic Director of Magnum Chorum since 2008, Christopher Aspaas is Associate Professor of Choral/Vocal Music at St. Olaf College in Northfield, where he teaches choral literature, choral conducting and voice, and conducts the Viking Chorus and Chapel Choir.  Aspaas is active as a guest conductor, clinician, adjudicator, and tenor soloist.
