Music & Choir

Tyson V. Repke is a quintessential "jack-of-all-trades." The son of a cowboy, he grew up on ranches in Wyoming and Colorado, then joined the US Navy and became a submarine nuclear reactor operator and electronics technician. After the navy, he became a music teacher and taught in public schools for nine years. He then joined Colorado's largest home inspection company and worked his way from radon specialist to upper management. Even during his break from teaching in public schools, Tyson kept his passion for music and teaching alive as the director of the VoiceMale boys choir at Young Voices of Colorado for six and a half years. Unable to resist his true calling, he returned to teaching full time in 2023 as the Choral Music Director at Ascent Classical Academy of Douglas County.

In addition to conducting middle school, high school, collegiate, and adult choirs, Tyson is also an avid performer (when he can find the time). He has acted in operas and musicals and has been a section leader and/or featured soloist for numerous performing ensembles across Colorado. Some of his favorite experiences include performing the national anthem for DU Pioneers hockey and the Denver Broncos and singing backup vocals for Josh Groban in concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

John has been a Catholic church organist for 25 years, having launched his musical career early in life thanks to the dual benefit of growing up in a small town and being interested in organ music.

He has played in a number of parishes across Colorado and over time came to realize the inherent value in the Church's liturgical patrimony. John also sings tenor, though he is most at home when "singing" with the pipes of the organ, playing works that complement the rich heritage of Gregorian chant and polyphony.
