Thank you!

Huge thanks to everyone who came to hear our Christmas concerts! It was a joyful way for us to kick off our holidays and we hope it brought joy to you and yours, too. As a holiday gift to you, we hope you enjoy our finale - Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah.
At our benefit concert on December 2nd, we collected and donated more than 400 pounds of food and $85 in cash for Catholic Charities and Saint Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church to help feed Denver's hungry. Thank you for your generosity!
