The mission of the Denver Children’s Choir (DCC) is to inspire and unite children from diverse backgrounds by fostering harmony in music and in life. We offer an inclusive space for youth to engage together from diverse backgrounds, learn music, celebrate differences, and sing in harmony. Through our emphasis on musical excellence with a welcoming environment, we have positively impacted the lives of thousands of children from across Denver Metro Area.

Share a story of how your organization engages with the business sector (i.e. sponsorship, volunteerism, etc.):

We offer opportunities for the business sector to engage with us as season sponsors (several tiers are available, offering varying levels of rights and benefits to our partners), as philanthropic donors, and as volunteers. Parents from all walks of life: educators, nonprofit changemakers, public service workers, even governmental leaders have entrusted their children to the DCC.

How is your organization supporting the creative economy?

We entertain and engage thousands of audience members each season with our fall and spring concerts. We partner with other artists and artistic organizations to bring creative collaboration to our concerts and offer artistic mentorship to our young musicians. We employ over a dozen local artists on our team, and an additional 10-15 artists on a contractual basis every year.
