Nashville in Harmony has expanded beyond choral music and revived the Nashville Pride Marching Band under our umbrella. Adults with marching experience are welcomed to join us as we prepare music for performance in the Nashville Pride parade. We hope to expand this program beyond the summer provided we can find funding to purchase used drums for a basic drumline. Currently we are limited to performing only when we can borrow instruments from schools not currently in session.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| As Nashville in Harmony works to accomplish our mission of using music to build community and create social change, we are continually challenged principally in three areas: 1) to continue to improve artistically, advancing our musical skills, broadening our repertoire, and raising the quality of our public performances; 2) to continue to build bridges between people, increasing the diversity of our membership, taking our music to varied demographics, and modeling the community we work to create; and 3) to make a measurable impact in middle Tennessee, promoting the acceptance of diversity, advocating support for the arts, and enriching the fabric of our city. The organization continues to address these challenges by maintaining a broad-based and vibrant leadership structure, by regularly engaging in systematic planning and evaluation, and by involving the entire membership in seeking creative solutions to achieve our goals. |
