The chorus can provide entertainment for music festivals, corporate and special events, awards nights, banquets, community events, conventions, fundraisers, grand openings, retirement parties, trade shows, sporting events, cruise ships, holiday celebrations and parties, wedding ceremonies and receptions, church services, funerals, nursing and retirement homes, and family happenings, including anniversary parties, and birthday parties.
Theme Packages

Christmas Events
The chorus has a large repertoire of Christmas songs and carols. Please contact us as early as possible about Christmas holiday performances, because demand for performances is great at this time of year.

Fees
All our members are volunteers. In 2009, member dues only covered 70% of the operating budget. The chorus depends on performance fees and other income sources to fill this gap. Fees will vary according to a number of factors, including the distance from Nashville, duration of musical program, total time required at the venue, custom programming requests, size of audience, and other variables. These items can be discussed with the Performance Coordinator.
Expenses
The expenses related to accepting a performance run about $150 for a Nashville-area performance. If needed, extras for securing/transporting risers, sound and lighting gear will be added on a cost recover basis. Each year the chorus commits to a number of low cost, no cost or payment by donation performances as a community service. If you are a non profit organization, charity or similar entity, please contact the Performance Coordinator to discuss this.
Quartets performing within our ensemble set their own fees.
