Sounds of Home Chorus

Gateway Chamber Orchestra, with the support of the Tennessee Arts Commission, offers active-duty military, veteran service members and their spouses the opportunity to join a new choral ensemble to promote creative expression through music. The Sounds of Home Chorus is now in its second year, and continues to grow within the community.

 

“Music is a part of humanity from the earliest of time through lullabies, until the end of life with a requiem,” says Chorus Director Kristina Waugh. “Music can help us celebrate many events in life, as well as get us through some of the tough times.”
