Women of all ages and backgrounds make up Skyline Chorus. We are: high school/college students, dancers, actors, teachers, doctors, lawyers, engineers, homemakers, grandmothers/mothers/daughters and we have a spot on the risers for you! We meet weekly to hone our craft and to create harmony. We invite you to stop in on a Tuesday night for our rehearsal or come to one of our performances to experience the enthusiasm and positive energy "live" and in person.

We enjoy performing for and giving back to communities all around the Denver metropolitan area. Skyline shares our joy of music and the gift of time to give back to our communities in a variety of ways.
