SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Community Outreach: Community Outreach is the vehicle by which Nashville in Harmony builds bridges of understanding and acceptance between diverse communities. Outreach encompasses service projects, benefit appearances, advocacy, community-building, and acting as ambassadors for Nashville and the LGBT communities. Service projects have included purchasing and presenting wish list items for Affordable Housing Residents at Room in the Inn and at the Knoxville Area Rescue Mission, as well as fundraising for OutCentral. Volunteering has included participating in Nashville CARES AIDS Walks, answering phones at Nashville Public Television pledge drives, and sorting food at Second Harvest Food Bank as part of Make a Difference Day, organized through Hands On Nashville. Season Performances: Nashville in Harmony offers two main-stage concerts each year. A myriad of other free concerts and appearances are held across Middle Tennessee as our vehicle for using music to build community and create social change. Our patronage continues to grow as we are called upon more and more to perform at major events in the life of Music City. NiH has performed on the stages of Ryman Auditorium, TPAC’s Polk Theater, and the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. Additionally, we have conducted outreach performances at Room in the Inn, Music for Seniors at the FiftyForward Center in Madison, and the Oasis Center. Finally, we have participated in community-wide musical events such as Mayor Megan Barry's Inauguration, MLK Observation Day at TSU, World AIDS Day observances at The Renaissance Center in Dickson and the Metropolitan Interdenominational Church, as well as the Transgender Day of Remembrance at Vanderbilt University. Major Minors, Nashville in Harmony's Youth Chorus: The Major Minors youth chorus is a group for people ages 12-18 to be themselves without apology. The mission of the chorus is to use music to build community and create social change. The chorus is a safe, welcoming, and accessible place for all youth that celebrates the joy, diversity, strength, and pride of today’s young people. Major Minors singers find their own voice and unique identity within a welcoming community. Over its first five years in existence, this chorus has had the opportunity to tour across Tennessee and to Washington D.C. and New York City in collaboration with GenOut.
