Dr. Freeman is working with each choir and director individually prior to the festival in preparation for a day of rehearsals that will culminate in a free performance open to the public.
Participating choirs include Akiva School, Choral Arts Link, MET Singers, Hillwood High School, I.T. Creswell Middle Prep, East Nashville High School, Antioch High School, Hillsboro High School and Nashville School for the Arts. Learn more here.
