Foothills Community Choir (FCC) is a non-audition chorus in Denver, Colorado with the goal of community enrichment. The Choir works to create an environment of joy, laughter, and fun while maintaining the credo of respect and inclusiveness. FCC strives to develop choral excellence within a supportive and nurturing community environment.

Foothills Community Choir believes in the transformative power of music to unite people from all backgrounds and walks of life. We celebrate the visible and invisible differences in everyone that enrich and strengthen our community, both through our music and in all our operations. We are committed to creating and maintaining an environment where everyone feels valued, welcomed, and empowered to participate fully in our musical community.

The Choir strives to learn and perform music representing a broad range of styles, cultures, observances, and experiences, and the individuals who created that music. While the Choir could never comprise people of every identity, we can, do, and will honor music that brings the unique perspectives of as many as possible into our community. Each concert creates a journey through the soundscapes of worldly experience, inviting participants and audiences alike to explore the complex and beautiful mosaic of humanity’s diverse musical heritage.

FCC performs two concerts each year (spring and winter) which are free and open to the public.  We bring musical outreach to the community through caroling and visits to assisted living and retirement homes.  We partner with other musical organizations in the Denver Metro area, including Trinity UMC Choir and members of the Wild Beautiful Orchestra.

FCC relies individual donations, grants, fundraising and member dues to fund our director, accompanist, sheet music, and rehearsal/performance space.  Because anyone who wants to sing with FCC is welcome to join, regardless of the ability to pay, we offer scholarships each session.
