Background Statement
Organization's History
The Colorado Chorale is the longest continually-performing choral group in the Denver Metro area. Founded in 1970, the Chorale is an independent ensemble of vocal musicians with a dynamic history of widely diverse and innovative musical repertoire encompassing cultural history as well as musical theater, jazz, and the choral classics.
Known for excellence in choral technique, diversity in programming, and collaboration with other instrumental and choral groups, the Colorado Chorale currently consists of 100 auditioned, volunteer singers representing all walks of life from college to retirement. While musical ability is a distinguishing qualification for membership, the Colorado Chorale is dedicated to its long-standing policy of non-discrimination.
Music for Life
Creating musical experiences for young and established Denver musicians is a top goal of the Chorale. We regularly challenge ourselves and other musicians from youth to adults to create exciting musical collaborations. Such performances enrich our community, enhance relationships, and help build a legacy of music understanding and appreciation for Denver's cultural future.
Nurturing Future Musical Leaders
Our internship program provides a stipend to graduate-level vocalists and helps them gain essential leadership experience in choral preparation, musicality and repertoire.
Outreach and Community
We give back to community with an outreach project at almost every concert. Our partnerships have included rojects have included fundraising for Colorado Children's Hospital, Family Promise and Samaritan House; partnerships with the Mexican Cultural Center and Denver Actors' Fund, and more.
We are grateful for the continuing support of the Science and Cultural Facilities Districts of Arapahoe, Adams, and Denver, as well as the Community First Foundation, the Beckwitt Community Choral grant received in December 2007, and many individual contributors and supporters.
