About Us
Our Approach

Rehearsal cycles run for ten weeks and culminate in a performance at the end of the session.

Choir has been one of the great loves of Marla’s life… it was the place where she really found her artistic voice and her sense of community in NYC. Since moving to Denver, she’s been so grateful to find a new choir family in Voices Rock! And she’s hoping to foster that same sense of community with her singers in the Highlands area.

She joined the Voices Rock team in 2018 and began working with VR2 in 2022 as Assistant Director. Her favorite thing about working at VR2 besides working with all the amazing kids is being able to see how much they come together as a community from start to finish. Amelia has always loved working with kids and spends her summers at Hogwarts Camp, and VR2, all of which she hopes will prepare her for a potential career as a teacher. In her free time Amelia participates in shows, loves spending time with her friends and her dog, and goes on extra long drives just so she can belt Lady Gaga and Meghan Trainor in the car as loud as she can.
