The Concert Chorale of Nashville was founded in 1998 by Ms. Sherry Hill Kelly. From the beginning, CCN has been committed to performing great choral music with excellence.
The professional caliber ensemble has presented over thirty concerts in its seven seasons. The most obvious venue for choral music is in churches, but CCN has also performed at The Parthenon, the historic Belcourt Theater, the Alexander Looby Center and the Renaissance Center in neighboring Dickson. The 2002 Christmas concert, sponsored by the Metro Parks and Recreation Department, drew the largest attendance ever for such an event at The Parthenon. The Chorale has also ventured out of state for concerts in Paducah and Bowling Green, KY. A concert to benefit the W. O. Smith School concluded the 2001-02 season. A joint concert with the Nashville Community Concert Band concluded the 2004-05 season raised significant funds to benefit Alive Hospice.
The Chorale has also performed with the local National Guard Band, the Graylin Brass Quintet and the Trevecca University Orchestra.
CCN has presented three benefit concerts at Christmas for the historic Church of the Assumption in the Germantown section of Nashville.
Concert Chorale began sponsoring a significant Vocal Scholarship competition
in 2006.
The Chorale is working with Metro Nashville Public Schools in implementing a program of Mentoring Concerts with local high school choral programs.
