George Lynn (1915-1989)

George Lynn studied composition at Westminster Choir College (Princeton, NJ) with such American luminaries as Roy Harris and Randall Thompson, among others. He taught briefly at CU-Boulder in the early 1950's, then returned to teach and conduct the choirs at Westminster Choir College until 1969, when he returned to Denver to more actively pursue composition. He conducted choirs at Colorado School of Mines and Loretto Heights College during this latter period in Denver, but otherwise committed himself entirely to composing, and composed over 1000 pieces during that period, including 800 choral works. His widow and daughter continue to live in the Denver area, and the latter, Christina Lynn-Craig, carries on her father's legacy with the founding and directing of Aster Women's Chorus, based in Broomfield.
