About the Choir
A non-audition chorus dedicated to the joy of singing in community with others.
We are Foothills Community Choir (FCC), a non-audition chorus dedicated to the joy of singing in community with others. FCC is open to teens and adults with a desire to sing a variety of music. We are an independent, nonprofit organization that exists for the purpose of encouraging the appreciation of vocal music in the Denver metro community at large.
Our choir celebrates a rich and diverse repertoire, performing a wide range of music from various genres and cultures. We have no specific religious or organizational affiliations, focusing solely on the joy of musical expression and the unifying power of song.
Our History
Foothills Community Choir is part of a long history of vocal excellence in Colorado. In 1996, a group of singers in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains started the Wheat Ridge Community Chorale to encourage the appreciation of vocal music in the Denver area.
The choir has taken on new life several times since then, most recently in 2021 as Foothills Community Choir. Some of our members have been singing with the choir off and on since its inception, and many new voices have found us along the way. FCC strives to honor both our history and our growth in all of our work.
Sing With Us
FCC is in session at least twice a year. Singers can participate in as many or as few sessions as is convenient — although once you see how much fun we have, we bet you'll keep coming back!
Rehearsals
Tuesdays, 7 – 9 PM in Wheat Ridge. Each session consists of approximately 12 weeks of rehearsals, one dress rehearsal, and at least one performance.
Seasons
Spring runs February – May, fall runs September – December. We sometimes offer a summer session depending on member interest and staff availability.
Dues
Sliding scale, usually $80 – $100 per session. All dues go towards rehearsal space, music director, accompanist, and music licenses.*
* Inability to pay dues should never be a barrier to participation. Waivers available.
