Event Volunteers Needed for Season of Harmony Concerts

It takes a great deal of coordinated effort to present a concert event. When you consider that a majority of the concert we will be on stage, it's only logical that we need other people to do EVERYTHING ELSE! If you can help us on November 22nd with either the matinee or evening event, or BOTH, please register online by visiting our partners at Hands on Nashville.
