W. Campbell Edmonds Concert Series

Celebrate the enduring power of faith through music as Voices of the Mountains presents an inspiring collection of beloved hymns and sacred choral works. From cherished favorites to moving new arrangements, this uplifting performance invites audiences to reflect, rejoice, and find comfort. Let these timeless melodies renew your spirit and fill your heart with hope, peace, and joy.

Voices of the Mountains will be joined by an ensemble of musicians from Symphony of the Mountains.

​

Kingsport has been fortunate to have a chorus affiliated with its symphony since 1958. When the symphony became regional, the chorus did, also. By merging with the Bristol Concert Choir in 2003, Voices of the Mountains was created as an auditioned, regional chorus affiliated with Symphony of the Mountains. The goal of the chorus is to provide the highest quality choral music to audiences of all ages throughout our region. Voices of the Mountains sings annually with Symphony of the Mountains at the December holiday concert and one spring concert. Additionally, VOTM performs independently in the fall and spring of each concert season. The chorus’ repertoire varies from Renaissance motets and madrigals, Baroque oratorios, Viennese masses, to modern folk songs. Recent performances of Verdi’s Requiem, Orff’s Carmina Burana, and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria have been well received. An ensemble from Voices of the Mountains performed in New York’s Carnegie Hall in January 2006 and May 2008.

​​​

Symphony of the Mountains’ commitment to service encompasses the entire region, without regard for state or county boundaries. The orchestra consists of more than 70 professional musicians conducted by Cornelia Laemmli Orth.
