Join us again this season, our 41st!

Doran Azari retired from teaching orchestra in Greeley Evans School District 6 in 2020 after more than 30 years of service in just about every secondary school in Greeley. He was primarily the director of orchestras at Greeley Central High School where the program increased in size during his tenure and received superior ratings for excellence for over three decades.  In 2000 the GCHS Symphony Orchestra was showcased at the Colorado Music Educator's Convention as one of the finest orchestras in the state. Mr. Azari also traveled and toured extensively with the orchestra having performed in Los Angeles, New York City, and in Europe five times including performances in Dublin's St. Patrick's Cathedral, Paris, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Vatican City and the Czech Republic—where the orchestra was the first American orchestra to perform following the fall of the Berlin Wall. 

Mr. Azari serves on many volunteer boards including the Union Colony Civic Center Advisory Board, the UCCC Backstage Stars, the Greeley Chamber Orchestra, the Greeley Arts Legacy, and he is a member of the Historic Preservation Commission for Greeley. He lives in Greeley with his wife Kathy who plays oboe in the Greeley Chamber Orchestra and who herself has had a long and distinguished music career both as a performer and educator.
