The Colorado Choir and Chorus Organization, founded in 1976, is a nonprofit community organization with a membership of 60-70 voices. We are principally an a cappella ensemble celebrating its 46th year enriching our community and promoting joy and appreciation of unique choral literature.
"My husband and I listened to their Christmas Concert. There was a wide variety of music. It was not just Christmas Carols that have been played over and over. The performance was stunning. The entire audience was blown away at the professionalism of this Choir." ~ Theresa Bowen
"I have attended the Colorado Choir Concerts for the past 20 years. The Christmas Concert is so joyful and very rich in sound, and it always stars my Christmas Season." ~ Jennifer Christopher
The Colorado Choir enriches our community and promotes joy and appreciation of choral literature. Through a series of annual concerts and related events, The Colorado Choir shares a diverse repertoire of choral music intended to engage our members and demonstrate our passion for music and to inspire, educate, and entertain our audiences.
The Colorado Choir, founded in 1976, is one of the most dynamic influences in the Colorado music scene. In its history, it has presented more than 50 performances with the Denver Symphony Orchestra. Today, the choir specializes in performing significant compositions for a cappella choir. The choir has also performed multiple times with both the Denver Pops Orchestra and the Boston Pops Orchestra in Denver. The choir is often extended similar invitations and accepts them when possible. The choir has sung the National Anthem to open games for the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies. While principally an a cappella choir, the group does perform accompanied works as well as occasional major works with orchestra.
In 2009, Kelly Parmenter was selected to be the group’s second musical conductor/artistic director. Kelly’s conducting talent and experience has set a positive direction for the group which to date has included a collaboration with The Denver Brass when the combined groups performed “Apparabit Repentina Dies” by Paul Hindemith.
Ms. Parmenter also served as a choral and orchestral conductor at Arapahoe High School, Centennial, Colorado for 35 years, and brings extensive conducting experience to the Colorado Choir. Ms. Parmenter’s groups have performed at the Capitol Building and Pentagon in Washington, D.C., Carnegie Hall in New York City and Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.
After more than 50 years of performing in the Denver area, The Colorado Choir continues to evolve as an important part of the community by providing classical choral literature through its concert schedule and other public appearances.
