Why Support the Colorado Hebrew Chorale?
We are the only local community choir that focuses on Hebrew and Jewish themes, using music to bring people together. We do this through partnering with other organizations and choirs that are primarily non-Jewish which fosters relationships and understanding for singers and audiences alike.
What Your Funds Cover
Donations are used to purchase music, for recruitment, and to support marketing and materials costs.
Mission
The Colorado Hebrew Chorale’s mission is to preserve, promote, and celebrate the Jewish experience through song. We are committed to using the power of music to foster understanding through education, Jewish community involvement, and multi-cultural outreach.
Background Statement
When Carol Kozak Ward founded the Colorado Hebrew Chorale (CHC) in September 1993, there were no choirs in Colorado dedicated to Jewish music in all its facets. The establishment of the CHC filled a niche, providing area choristers a place to learn and share this unique repertoire with diverse audiences, and enriching the local cultural landscape.
Since its inception, CHC has had a long and successful history of collaboration with area organizations, including other choirs and performance organizations, houses of worship, museums, schools and libraries. These collaborations have furthered CHC's ability to offer our distinct music and educational message to the public.
In 2003 CHC was welcomed as a Tier III member of SCFD, the Scientific and Cultural District. In 2013 the Colorado Hebrew Chorale launched Kol Nashim, literally “Women’s Voices.” This SSAA choir, directed by Leah Peer, was established to enlarge our membership base and audience reach.
Both choruses are made up of amateur singers drawn from all areas of greater Denver, representing the diversity of the community. Singers of all religions, races and gender identities are welcome.
