This Saturday, November 16, 2013, the Sound Company, Oak Ridge's Children's Performing Choir will present a special concert featuring the Nashville Singers. The concert will be held at the historic Grove Theater at High Places Church, 123 Randolph Road, Oak Ridge.

The two choirs will combine to sing a few songs, including "You Are the New Day", as performed by the King's Singers, and "Teach the Children to Sing" composed and arranged by Joe Liles.

These two choirs last shared the stage in April of 2012 before an audience of 4,000 at the Titanic Museum and Attraction in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. Descendants of the passengers and crew were on hand to commemorate the event.

On November 13, 2008, this "baker's dozen" group of men gathered at the Harborview Clubhouse in Donelson for the very first meeting of the Nashville Singers. With President Bruce Cokeroft and Musical Director Todd Wilson at the helm, the evening included some tag singing, watching videos of the Westminster Chorus, and the Vocal Majority and of course, some singing. Songs included Home on the Range, The Irish Blessing, and My Lord & I. Six of those 13 men ended up becoming the first members of the ensemble. Those six are still active today.
