Nathan Howe is honored and thrilled to step into the role of chorus conductor for the Valley Symphony Association. A proud Colorado native from Loveland, Nathan brings a rich background in music education and composition to the podium. He began his career teaching choir and orchestra in schools on Colorado’s Eastern Plains before moving into
higher education, where he helps teachers to complete master's degrees in education and gain licensure to become principals.
Nate is also an acclaimed choral composer and arranger, with works performed by all-state and American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) choirs, as well as in schools and concert venues around the world. His music is published by leading houses including Hal Leonard, Shawnee Press, and MusicSpoke.
A longtime supporter of the VSA, Nate sang with the Chorus for four seasons before taking on this leadership role. He brings a deep admiration for the extraordinary artistry that emerges when dedicated local musicians come together in a spirit of collaboration and joy.
Nate holds a bachelor of music education from the University of Northern Colorado and a master of educational leadership from Western Governors University.
Outside of music, Nate and his wife, Alli, love adventuring across the Western Slope and beyond with their four children—Phin, Eli, Adele, and Atticus.
