The Roane Choral Society:

TheRoane Choral Society is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of directors elected from both the chorus and the local community.  Funding for our season comes from individual and corporate contributions.  The Board and choral members work diligently to raise these funds in a continuing effort to bring our community the very best in musical performances.  We hope you will consider joining the supporters of Roane Choral Society.  Given the drastic reduction in monies from the National Endowment for the Arts and The Tennessee Arts Commission, we are increasingly dependent on contributions and ticket sales to enable us to continue our musical offerings to Roane County.

In addition to presenting concerts, the Roane Choral Society supports music education in Roane county both finanially and providing opportunities for local grade schools, middle schools and high schools to participate in community concerts.  Your support for these activities through the Roane Choral Society is greatly appreciated.

The singers of Roane Choral Society are volunteers who meet two hours for rehearsals on Monday evenings.  We invite you to attend and sing with us.  No prior choral experience is required. No time in your busy schedule?  You will be surprised at how invigorating two hours of musical rehearsal can be!  Please call Jerri Zurcher at 376-6710 for more information.
