The Highlands Ranch Community Chorus was founded by William Fethke in the spring 1987. Its purpose was to fulfill a community need in the southern metropolitan area to provide entertaining performances of popular music, a quality singing experience for any adult regardless of musical skills or background and opportunities for community service through vocal music.
A group of twenty singers provided its first concert in July of that year. Since then, it has provided at least two concerts each year. Its members come from all walks of life and all parts of the south Metro Denver-Douglas County area including Aurora, Arvada, Littleton, Englewood, Highlands Ranch, Sedalia, Castle Rock and Parker. Membership continues to be open to anyone from anywhere with a sincere desire to participate in the group and the time to attend rehearsals.
