Williamson County Community Chorus, TN

It is the goal of the Williamson County Community Chorus to engage passions, inspire achievement, deepen connections and broaden community through choral music. The purpose of the chorus is to build an inclusive choral community which will entertain and inspire their audiences and members with diverse, challenging, and eclectic choral concerts. The chorus sings everything from a major classical choral work with orchestra to spirituals to lighter choral music. They explore and enjoy choral music!

The Williamson County Community Chorus was founded in 2017 under the direction of Dr. Linda Bolding. The chorus grew quickly and at only 2 years old was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in February 2020. The chorus is open for participation by qualified High School students, adults and seniors who have past experience and a passion for singing.  The chorus performs twice a year at the culmination of each session: Fall/Winter (August-Dec) and Spring (Jan-April) and enjoys a break over the summer months.  They have performed large scale concerts singing with orchestra and enjoyed sizeable audiences at their performances!
