When you invest in Swallow Hill, you are making it possible for youth and adults, from all income levels and every walk of life, to experience the joy of music every day. With your support, Swallow Hill will continue its rich history of bringing people together to learn about, listen to and perform music.
to build community through music performance, education, and outreach
Founded in 1979, Swallow Hill Music began as an outgrowth of the Denver Folklore Center, a music store in Denver's Swallow Hill neighborhood that offered music lessons and performances to the community in the 1960s and 1970s. When the Folklore Center closed temporarily in the late 1970s, a group of committed volunteers formed SHM as a nonprofit organization. From these humble beginnings, we have grown to become a cultural asset and distinct thread in Colorado's musical fabric.
Building on our legacy and unique strengths (including trusted curation of events, a broad view of acoustic folk music, and communal learning), we are now focused on ensuring we meaningfully welcome new audiences, partners, and cultures into all our programs.
Swallow Hill believes folk music transcends boundaries and speaks to the shared human experience. It is a universal language that knows no barriers of race, income, ability, or zip code. Swallow Hill strives to ensure that music remains an accessible and enriching force for all.
