Nashville Singers Affiliates with Chorus America
Nashville Singers has just joined Chorus America, an organization that provides the leaders of over 1600 choral organizations with information, research, leadership development, professional training, and advocacy to help them deliver the best possible contributions to their communities and to the choral art.
Chorus America's mission is to build a dynamic and inclusive choral community so that more people are transformed by the beauty and power of choral singing.
Chorus America provides invaluable news, resources and expertise delivered in myriad accessible ways. Chorus America's programs bring professionals and volunteers together to learn and collaborate in a friendly, supportive environment that promotes networking, information exchange, and shared goals.
Chorus America speaks with a strong and unified voice to increase recognition of choral singing as an essential part of society.

A few of the current study's major findings for adult singers include:
- Choral participation remains strong in America with 32.5 million adults regularly singing in at least one of 270,000 choruses nationwide.
- Choral singers exhibit higher levels of civic involvement, with choristers almost 3 times more likely to be officers or committee members of local community organizations such as the PTA.
- Seventy-eight percent of choral singers indicated they "at least sometimes" volunteer their time in their community, while only 50% of the general public say the same.
- Seventy-four percent of choral singers agree or strongly agree that singing in a chorus has helped them become better team leaders or team participants in other areas of their lives; nearly two-thirds agree or strongly agree that being in a chorus has helped them socialize better in other areas of their lives.
- Choral singers donate 2.5 times more money to philanthropic organizations than the general public.
- Ninety-six percent of choral singers surveyed who are eligible voters said they vote regularly in national and local elections; only 70% of the general public cites the same level of participation.
Civic engagement also extends to patronage of other art forms, with choral singers at least 2 times more likely to attend theater, opera, and orchestra performances as well as visit museums and art galleries.

Nashville Singers started off the 2011 by supporting a great cause. On January 1st, the chorus performed the Star Spangled Banner before the start of the Resolution Run at Hall of Fame Park in downtown Nashville. The group then performed five more songs while officials were tabulating the results of the race. This annual event benefits United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of  Middle Tennessee's Durable Medical and Adaptive Equipment Exchange Program. Through this unique recycling program, UCP collects, cleans, modifies and distributes durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, prone standers, gait trainers, and other essential equipment to persons with disabilities who otherwise could not afford this equipment. |
