The Cherry Creek Chorale creates collaborative, engaging and versatile musical experiences for our singers and audiences while demonstrating our love of one another, artistic excellence, and passion for the choral art.
Since its founding in 1980 by dedicated singers from the CherryCreek School District, the Cherry Creek Chorale has grown into a vibrant 120-voice ensemble whose members range in age from 17 to 80. Committed to artistic excellence and community engagement, the Chorale fosters a love of singing for performers and audiences alike, presenting four concert sets each season at Bethany Lutheran Church and performing at additional venues across the Denver metro area. Under the 31-year leadership of Artistic Director and Conductor Brian Patrick Leatherman, and with William White serving as Associate Conductor, the Chorale showcases a diverse repertoire spanning pop, jazz, classical, folk, spirituals, and contemporary works.
The Chorale is proud to champion new music and celebrate diverse composers and musical traditions. Each concert is thoughtfully curated around a central theme, often performed in-the-round and including sing-along pieces to create an engaging audience experience. Its outreach a cappella ensemble, The CherryTones, expands the Chorale’s reach through community performances across the metro area, including city events, intimate venues, and arts programs for seniors, helping bring the joy of live music to new and diverse audiences.
EVENTS (2025-26 SEASON)
Spells, Spirits & Mariachis
Sink your teeth into an unforgettable autumn evening where Halloween chills meet Día de los Muertos magic.
The chorale joins forces with the sensational Mariachi Las Dahlias to conjure a night brimming with ghoulish fun, glowing remembrance, and music that stirs the soul. From the spellbinding mischief of “I Put a Spell on You” (straight out of Hocus Pocus) to the joyful rhythms of “Un Poco Loco” from Coco, the program is alive with treats for every spirit. Expect haunting harmonies, vibrant mariachi melodies, and plenty of chances to clap, sing, and even howl at the moon. Whether you come cloaked in cobwebs, crowned in marigolds, or dressed to thrill, let your festive spirit shine. It’s a celebration of life, memory, and a little mischief—because the night belongs to the living, to the departed, and to everyone ready to raise the roof together.
