The Broomfield Choral Festival is a unique organization that focuses solely on bringing to the diverse residents of the community an annual free concert of major choral works presented by area volunteer, non-auditioned singers joined by some of the area's finest professional musicians and volcal soloists. The concerts feature a wide range of music from our rich cultural heritage. Free admission to the event maximizes audience attendance, and provides underserved populations the opportunity to hear master choral works, professionally executed, at no charge. Removal of the audition process encourages wide singer participation. Education is a major component of the festival as is the collaboration by area arts groups and by musicians throughout the community. Each annual concert focuses on three key elements: 1) to provide music education opportunities for young singers 2) to provide opportunities for personal growth for adult singers and 3) to provide the widest possible access to major concerts to both audience and singers.

Ones and Zeros is a film series focusing on the digital arts produced by the garage studios made possible by today’s software and technology. Flip-cams, i-Phones and open-source shareware have put the power of animation and video making in the hands of the masses that do not always have a venue to show their work. Something we hope to rectify.

We want to be a venue devoted to independent works and a service to the Colorado film community in any way we can, through workshops, contests, screenings, and outreach to local school video clubs and programs.
