When we began in 1990, many of our singers were hesitant to print their full names in the concert programs for fear of persecution. Much has changed since then but the LGBT community still does not enjoy full equal rights - and even recent advances are countered by setbacks and intolerance. One Voice exists to present a public face and voice of the LGBT community as we work for social justice.

One of the pioneering gay-affirming choruses in the “Deep South,” One Voice also provides a welcoming place for LGBT people to express their musical artistry together. All are welcome in this non-auditioned group that’s also one of fewer than a dozen choruses in the national LGBT choral community where men and women perform together.

Nashville in Harmony (NiH) is Tennessee’s first and only musical arts organization specifically created for people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expressions, and their allies.
