S.O.U.L.S.
Our Mission
Singing isn't just about hitting the notes. It's about touching souls.
S.O.U.L.S. is a 501-(c)(3), non-profit corporation passionately founded with the purpose of providing opportunities for culturally diverse East Tennessee youth, ages 9-18, to build relational bonds through music and leadership training. Our mission is to share collaborative performances of classical, gospel, contemporary Christian, patriotic, and ethnically-inclusive choral music in houses of worship and at regional, civic, and community events that promote a message of God's unifying love, barrier-breaking peace, encouraging hope, and contagious joy.
*** We are still accepting applications for ALTO, TENOR, BARITONE/BASS voices!***
We will also consider accepting soprano applications, but we are approaching capacity in this high voice part.
If you are between the ages of 9-18 and love music, we encourage you to prayerfully consider joining this talented group of East TN singers! Submit an application by clicking the "join us" button above.
